Hello im trying to setup some alerting on my ESXI node. I have used check_vmware_api.pl command to query my ESXI host with no issues however when attempting to configure alert thresholds it doesn't appear to be working as expected. See attached screenshots for help page/my service config. Also attached output from the test command in CCM.

In order for the warning and critical values to work, you'll also have to specify a subcommand. All of this will be put in ARG3.

-s usage -w 80 -c 90

You can get a list of commands and subcommands by running the check_vmware_api.pl plugin at the command line, like so.

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_vmware_api.pl --help
