Is it possible to monitor all of my VMware Storage Luns? I have a Red Hat server that occasionally fills up the LUN with a backup (using Avamar) and I need to catch it before it crashes the server. I can monitor the server fine but I don't know how to monitor the LUNs.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Have a look here.

Thanks kg2857.

I don't need to monitor Avamar, I need to monitor the LUNs for VWmware. The Avamar backups are fine, rarely do they fill the LUN but when it does, the system crashes.

I need to get warnings when any LUN is at 80% and 90%.

Using the Config Wizard for vsphere, I get to the 2nd step Monitor Metrics, and I choose the Datastores tab.

All I see there is Datastores Selection
Specify which datastores you'd like to monitor on the VMware host (server).

Datastores
CRITICAL: Could not connect to the specified vCenter server.

@kbauma01, please verify that your username and password are correct. The current version of the plugin doesn't give very helpful feedback and the current version of the wizard doesn't stop you from progressing properly if your credentials are invalid. I've improved the plugin's error messages for Nagios XI 2024R1.4.4, which will cause the actual issue to be returned instead of a generic connection error message and will try to get an update to the wizard to verify the username/password before going to step 2.

Thanks, I'll check that again and report back.

When I run it via the command line, it works.

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_vsphere_xi.py -H <hostname> -u <user> -p <password> - nagios -L -v

But using the wizard in the GUI, I get an error.
