I got the same problem as Carambar "CRITICAL - Connection Error" Xen Server 7.2"
byCarambar, July 10, 2020
Hello,
I have a problem with the script when I execute the cmd : "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/XenAPI/XenAPI-2.14/check_xenserver.py xencasa2 check_xenserver.ini check_cpu 80 95"
I get a "CRITICAL - Connection error", the credentials in check_xenserver.ini are valid
Do you know what is the problem ?
My xen version is 6.5
Thanks in advance,

It works okay, but I couldn't get pnp4nagios to like the performance data. No charts were created. If you only need monitoring and alerting, this might be okay for you.
I'm also not sure I found the correct version of the files. Both Nagios Exchange and the GitHub website say v1.3 is available, but inside the files I downloaded it had an older version number (1.2), older date, and older version history.

Thank you for the plugin.
I tried it worked quite well. This is how I used it:
check_xenserver.py poolge65_2 check_xenserver.ini check_sr --name FREENAS02GE-NFS 90 95
check_xenserver.py poolge65_2 check_xenserver.ini check_cpu 80 95
check_xenserver.py poolge65_2 check_xenserver.ini check_mem 80 95
check_xenserver.py poolge65_2 check_xenserver.ini check_hosts
check_xenserver.ini
[poolge65_2]
host: xenserver02
username: blublu
password: blabla
exclude_srs: SR1, SR2
Comments:
Noticed that without exclude_srs the script breaks.
Would have been nice to be able to get individual VM CPU/Memory. Think it can be done? :)
thank you
