Hello we are setting up VMWare ESXI monitoring with NagiosXI and i am curious on permissions needed to read stats? Read only?

I would assume read only permissions would work, since Nagios doesn't actually make changes to ESXi.

You are correct, i reazlied i had created the user on vCenter and not each individual ESXI host. Once i created on each host all is working as expected with a read only account.
