Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
i was hoping to get some help please. The password was changed for our vm host and i know that i need to edit this: ""check_esx3_host!/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/xx_xx_xx_xx_auth.txt!IO!" but i am not that great with navigating linux and would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with a step by step of what i need to do.

thanks,

Open an ssh session to the Nagios host as a user that can edit the file, or run vi with sudo in front of it.
vi /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/xx_xx_xx_xx_auth.txt
Update the password.

thanks, i was able to get it resolved by opening a ssh session.
