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,
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.
