| Post subject: | ESX v3.5 w/ patch Problems |
Hi All, I've installed and configured the v3 alpha build w/ ESX 3.5 patch, but when adding checks to Nagios, they either return: (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing) OR SNMP problem - No data received from host However, when I run ./usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3 -H esxhostname, it returns data from the host about the VM state. Any ideas what I've done wrong? Any help or installation guides above and beyond what's included in the .tar.gz? PS. I had to comment out a lot of variables like %TIME% to make it verify the config. |

Those variables are only there as examples, theres nothing in the plugin that actually processes them. You need to globally replace them with the correct values when you use the plugin. The 127 error can be caused by problems with Perl installation and perl module locations. HOWEVER - the check_esx3 plugin has been completely re-written to use the official VMware Perl VI API which queries the virtual centre directly (or the esx server) and is more future-proof (and more accurate). It is similar to check_esx3 now but not fully backwards compatible but can do nifty things like stats over a whole cluster, locating a guest stats in the cluster no matter which host it lives on, and so on. This new check_vmware is available here: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1648 |
