Excellent plugin, still today! For those on vCenter 6.7 that replaced the VMA with MSW using https://github.com/T-M-D/MSW/blob/master/Deploy.md and ran into error: UNKNOWN: Server version unavailable at 'https://xxx:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/VMware/VICommon.pm line 734 Security has been tightened in vCenter and and the VMA/MSW needs the vCenter root certificates to accept the SSL certificate from your vCenter server. (On a side note I used Ubuntu 20 for the MSW, the CentOS I had issues getting all Perl modules to work/install). on the vCenter server, on main website (enter only FQDN , without any /) , there is a "Download trusted root CA certificates", save as ZIP. Extract, put contents (a 'certs' folder) on your MSW. I chose /home/vi-admin as location. Then on MSW server, set 2 environmental variables (HTTPS_CA_FILE and HTTPS_CA_DIR). Not sure both are needed but it works for me. My vi-admin user is set to a /bin/bash shell (using: usermod --shell /bin/bash vi-admin) so my approach is putting the vars in user home dir .bashrc file: $nano ~/.bashrc export HTTPS_CA_FILE='/home/vi-admin/certs/lin/96e3bd6f.0' export HTTPS_CA_DIR='/home/vi-admin/certs/lin' And a test to see it works: vi-admin@monitoring-msw1:~$ ~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server YOUR_VCENTER_FQDN_HERE --check vCenter_Name_Version OK: VMware vCenter Server 6.7.0 build-17137327 then exit, back to the main monitoring server: nagios@monitoring1:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -E 1 -l vi-admin -H YOUR_MSW_IP_HERE -C "~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server YOUR_VCENTER_FQDN_HERE --check vCenter_Name_Version" OK: VMware vCenter Server 6.7.0 build-17137327 More info: https://code.vmware.com/docs/6530/vsphere-sdk-for-perl-installation-guide/doc/GUID-0F962FBE-A919-4997-9152-CA8D21AAC0DE.html https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2108416 MSW setup (Ubuntu 20): cd /tmp tar -xvzf VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-6.7.0-8156551.x86_64.tar.gz sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses6 build-essential uuid uuid-dev libssl-dev perl-doc libxml-libxml-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl libsoap-lite-perl libmodule-build-perl cd vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib/ cpan -i CPAN cpan -i UUID cpan -i Date::Format ./vmware-install.pl EULA_AGREED=yes useradd vi-admin passwd vi-admin cd /home/ mkdir vi-admin chown -R vi-admin:vi-admin vi-admin usermod --shell /bin/bash vi-admin chown vi-admin:vi-admin box293_check_vmware.pl #fixing .ssh/authorized_keys - access & allowed key type: chmod 700 .ssh nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config #and insert: PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-dss
