Connection Error

by: S3nd0h

I got the same problem as Carambar "CRITICAL - Connection Error" Xen Server 7.2"

Looks good but

by: Carambar

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,

Okay, but not quite there, yet.

by: dhedlund

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.

NICE SCRIPT

by: xoroz

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
