Nagios Support Forum

Hello,
I started monitoring Nagios for our team, and we have Nagios trying to log into a few our hosts to monitor them, and has the wrong credentials it is using, and we are receiving a lock out error\x amount of attempts to log into the hosts thru vSphere web client. Wondering where we go to turn this feature off in Nagios?

Hello, @MNcomputer. You need to figure out which service check is using wrong credentials to the VSPhere client, fix the credentials or delete the service check. Can you share the service definition here?
Otherwise, please show the error that you're seeing in the logs(with the lockout error), then let me know the IP address of the VSphere client and send me a system profile.

To send us your system profile. Login to the Nagios XI GUI using a web browser.
Click the "Admin" > "System Profile" Menu
Click the "Download Profile" button
Save the profile.zip file and send it to me in a private message.

For security purposes, it's probably better if you send me the VSphere IP address in a private message as well instead of sharing it on a public forum.
