| Nagios_VMware.zip | WinZip file containing documentation and scripts; password is nagios |
Technical design uses the VMware command line interface (vCLI) to provide first-level Nagios monitoring and diagnosis; editable control files to specify hosts and services for monitoring; and Perl scripts that may be modified for local conditions. As of the publication date, these scripts are in production in one environment with ESX 4.0, 3.5, and 3.0; some modification may be required for other environments.
Please read the documentation before attempting to install or operate the scripts. Use of these materials assumes a working knowledge of Linux and Perl, as well as VMware ESX. Documentation and scripts are supplied in a WinZip file with password nagios (lower case).
If you have problems after carefully following the installation procedures, contact me by email and I will try to assist.

Hello,
I am trying to setup Monitoring to my ESX hosts. I am a bit puzzled with getting it work. The thing is that I am able to run resxtop from my nagios machine and configured pl and sh files accordingly. But when it comes to configuration file I am doomed:
VMware ESX hosts to monitor with Nagios nsca
#Tab delimited, # in col 1 to skip schedules for 3 options
#ESX Host Name Root Password CPU/Mem FileSys VMcount
#------------- ---- -------- ------- ------- -------
esx-c01 root password test
When I run command:
root@nagios:/opt/nsca# ./nsca_vmware.pl ESX_Hosts
Outcome would be:
Starting execution of ./nsca_vmware.pl v1.2.1 at 2013-03-18 18:12:06
... schedule is ESX_Hosts
./nsca_vmware.pl took 0 seconds
How can I debug what went wrong?
With best,
Hannes
