Can we monitor appliances

[nagioscynosure]

Hi All,

Can we monitor appliances in Nagios XI ? If yes, can you please provide steps to be performed for this.

Hi,

Nagios XI has a large number of built-in Configuration Wizards, so searching that would be the best place to start.

What type of appliance would you like to monitor and what type of checks do you want to enable? If we do not have a wizard, there's likely a community plugin available on the Nagios Exchange.

Let us when you have a chance.

Hi,

We need to monitor VMware vcenter appliance. If we can monitor this can you please provide steps.

Hi,

There's a wizard for that, so this is easy to set up and you'll find all the details in the guide below. One caveat, this wizard does require extra software to be installed. Please pay special attention to the version of the Perl SDK required for the wizard, it varies by operations system, and it's not going to work correctly if you install the wrong version.

Monitoring VMware With Nagios XI

After installing the SDK, you should get a message like this if it's successful. If not please post the output of any error messages.

Enjoy, --the VMware team

Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance.
