Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
I tried to supervise my ESX with the WMware Wizard, based on the check_esx3.pl script.
It works fine for 75% of my ESX server, but for the other 25% , i have the following error :

The thing is that there is nothing who can make difference between the ESX in error and the ESX OK.
There are in the same version of ESX (4.1), in the same network. ESX ok, and ESX in error can be in the same cluster or not. (I have both).
All ports are open between the NagiosXi server and the ESX.

When I try to execute the command in the nagios server :
First I was thinking that was cause by a certificate issue, but the other ESX wich are working have the same certificate issue.

I'm a little lost...

My NagiosXI is on a VM, installed by the VM image. I'm running the 2011 R3 version. I have no proxy.

Thanks for your help, and sorry for my english...

Open the "check_esx3.pl" in a text editor, and add the following line right after the first perl line: Save and run the check from the command line to verify it is working.

Hope this helps.

I tried but it doesn't change the result.
The point is that it works on some ESX and don't work on other... which have the same configuration...

What is the version of the ESX servers it isn't working on?

Did you check the firewall/ports on the ESX Hosts it isn't working on? I know its silly, but I had to change that only on some of my hosts.

I have the same version on ESX wich are working and wich are not, they are all in ESX 4.1.0 260247.
The FW is not active, i made some test with a telnet on concerned ports. Network is ok...
Thanks for you replies.

I am not sure what the issue could be. We will have to do some more testing, and digging into this. We will get back to you as soon as we find a possible solution.

ok i'm waiting for you. Thanks

Hello,
Have you find something about that please ?
Thanks, Regards

Are you able to access this web address on the ESX server that isn't working?
[url]https://<esx_server>/sdk/vimService.wsdl[/url]

Is the https port (443) being blocked somewhere?
