Great plugin but in 6.7 the hardware sensor status is not working
byvonhovic, January 28, 2020
Hello,
After we upgrade our ESX, script stop monitoring hardware sensor status. it shows problem:
Cannot report on the current health state of the element
Can somebody help me how can i resolve issue. This script is very good, but without solving my issue i cant use it.

Hi ,
This scripts works very perfectly in my environment. but we need to use the key instead of username and password. Will that be possible to use the key authentication to the esx servers instead of username and password.
If possible just suggest me where the changes has to be done. Will try that too.
Hoping the reply for this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The check return a Critical (it seems by default) when CPU usage is 80 -c 90
It is possible to cancel this critical?
Thanks in advance.

I am setting this up with the 6.0 SDK, which has extra security measures re: certificates
I can run the Datacentre checks fine and the Guest checks fine but get a login error on the host checks- I've logged into the vSphere client fine using the same username and password and I am able to browse the settings of the host with no issues
I have tried running the esxcli directly but it is getting the same error- I've tried using the 'thumbnail' but once again the same login issue....
Any ideas?

After install of all needed plugins and packages I'm able to run script:
./check_esx3-0.5.pl
Usage: check_esx3-0.5.pl -D | -H [ -N ]
-u -p | -f
-l [ -s ]
[ -x ] [ -o ]
[ -t ] [ -w ] [ -c ]
[ -V ] [ -h ]
Missing argument: command
So I assume there is nothing to add from perl/plugins/toolikts etc...
However I had a problem since after runing a command to check something like:
./check_esx3-0.5.pl -H IP.of.single.esx -u user -p password -l cpu
I see in Events on GUI that user was logged, but script running for 10 minutes without any output. What need to be checked?

All my cheks are ok but each of them generates an identification and disconnection on vSphere . How to get around that?
byviierr, January 27, 2016
Hello
I tried to use this script on a debian 8 but I have the problem that
- if I call this check on a shell as root I will get an answer
- if I call this check on a shell as user nagios I will get an answer
BUT!! If the nagios-server will call this check I get the answer that I should install the perl-sdk??
Do you have any hints for me?
regards
Viktor

Why would i want to compile all those things when it should work without, can give me some pointers on how to change the script to make use of whats already available?

I really appreciate author's great contribution.
Prior to make this fabulous plugin working on my CentOS 5.9 (32 bit), I need to do the following:
#yum install -y openssl-devel
Install the Perl module
#perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Nagios::Plugin
cpan> exit
If cpanminus is installed previously, we can install in such way:
#cpanm Nagios::Plugin
Install "VMware Infrastructure (VI) Perl Toolkit" (VMware-VIPerl-1.6.0-104313.i386.tar.gz OR VMware-VIPerl-1.6.0-104313.x86_64.tar.gz)
When done, this plugin works perfectly.

Script was fairly easy to setup; hardest part was getting the VMWare SDK/API for Perl to install properly.
Question: Is there a way to change the script such that the output to Nagios doesn't include the name of the script (in all caps) directly before the returned status?
All of my check results look like:
CHECK_ESX.PL OK - ...
I'd like to not have the check_esx.pl bit first. Note, this is the name of the script on my system as I renamed from what it's downloaded as for my ease of use

first in perl as other mentioned install Nagios::Plugin then install Crypt::SSLeay install Compress::Zlib install Class::MethodMaker
if you get the error "Permission to perform this operation was denied." the set Permissions on ESX (i) check. The created user must be in the group users and be placed under Permissions to Read Only.
if you get :
SSL_verify_mode of SSL_VERIFY_NONE for client is depreciated!
then #perl -MCPAN -e shell
#install GAAS/libwww-perl-5.837.tar.gz
#install GAAS/Net-HTTP-6.03.tar.gz

Hi, i'm using this cool plugin since 2 weeks, it was not super easy to set up, but now that it is working, it's awesome !
I've just got one request. Is it possible to change de output in order to remove the "CHECK_ESX.PL" part in front of each output ?
CHECK_ESX.PL OK : ......
Thanks!

Does anyone face this problem ?
CPAN not able to install following Perl modules on the system. These must be
installed manually for use by vSphere CLI:
UUID 0.03 or newer
XML::LibXML::Common 0.13 or newer
XML::LibXML 1.63 or newer
I ran the check_esx3.pl , on my nagios server and it says installer has successfully installed both vSphere CLI and SDK for perl... enjoy, the vmware team. Did a bit of scrolling up and saw Esx3 UNKNOWN - Missing perl module VMWare::VIRuntime. Download and install Perl TOolkit available at ..vmware/download..
CPAN not able to install following Perl modules on the system. These must be
installed manually for use by vSphere CLI:
UUID 0.03 or newer
XML::LibXML::Common 0.13 or newer
XML::LibXML 1.63 or newer
I ran the check_esx3.pl , on my nagios server and it says installer has successfully installed both vSphere CLI and SDK for perl... enjoy, the vmware team.

If you have the ability to use yum, you can use the following command to install all the perl necessities.
yum install perl-Nagios*
yum install perl-Nagios*

1. Works fine with MB Size
root@lankini:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_esx -H 172.16.16.51 -f authfile -l vmfs -s datastore1 -o used -w 67703
CHECK_ESX OK - Storages : 'datastore1'(used)=67703 MB (61.79%) | datastore1=67703MB;67703;
3. not fine with % style
root@lankini:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_esx -H 172.16.16.51 -f authfile -l vmfs -s datastore1 -o used -w 90

As per my understanding,
'label'=value[UOM];[warn];[crit];[min];[max]
[ UOM is Unit of Measure ]
1.min and max are not required if UOM=%
Here the script is using MBYTES
If the Script Can update the [min] and [max] fileds in the perf data output. Then We can use -w 90 ( % here) direclty to check on % basis
Else We have to use like -w 67703 ( -w MBSize ).
Giving size in MB for a number of DISK across different VM's is complex. If it is % basis then it is straight forward.
Please help in modifying the script to update [MIN][MAX] with min and max values in MB.
Here is the Example of C:\ Drive Space Check, This works perfectly.
