Nagios 4.3.4

I am working on having Nagios check my VMware ESXI hosts.

Found this check check_esxi_hardware.py

root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_esxi_hardware.py -H 10.2.8.75 -U root -P xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./check_esxi_hardware.py", line 267, in <module>
import pywbem
ImportError: No module named pywbem


I get the above error running this

Any ideas ?

Looks like you need to install the missing module. Try:

yum install pywbem (https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =7&t=32330)
or
sudo pip intall pywbem (http://pywbem.github.io/pywbem/installation.html)

Fails to install Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS


root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# sudo pip install pywbem

On Ubuntu

it is apt-get install

Thank you


That worked great

root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_esxi_hardware.py --host=10.2.8.75 --user=root --pass=########### --cimport=5989
UNKNOWN: (0, 'Socket error: [Errno 111] Connection refused')

getting further

I think I need to run this next on each host

esxcli system wbem set --enable true

Update

Now the check works after running

esxcli system wbem set --enable true on Host using SSH

then ran this

root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_esxi_hardware.py --host=10.2.8.10 --user=root --pass=############ --cimport=5989
OK - Server: Dell Inc. PowerEdge R310 s/n: DWQV7V1 System BIOS: 1.9.2 2012-04-27


Now off to do the other hosts and create the Nagios command

This can be locked as resolved.

Thank you

Glad to hear!
