Hello Team,
We have upgraded from VCenter 6.5 to VCenter 6.7 but after upgrading the check is failing and we are getting below error message.

NOTE - We are sending this checks from VMA

Is the file still available after the upgrade? Check from the XI command line:

The last version of the VMA is 6.5 which may not be compatible with 6.7 vcenter:

https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2017/0 ... ation.html

You may want to confirm this with the VMWare team and see if there are options.

An alternative to the box293_check_vmware plugin is to run the SDK on the XI side of things and is covered in https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf.
