Just to be sure, you won't ever get Fairness data unless you have a cluster configured with HA and DRS enabled (this is what the fairness is used for). In the VC client interface you should see fairness charts showing the loading split between the members of the cluster in this case.

The next version of the agent should probably not display this warning since it causes so many worries and is not really a problem...

Which version are you using? The /0 error appeared in the previous version and was killed off (I think). I may not have properly updated all the online repositories due to having to leave work at short notice for my father's funeral ( . Will be back in NZ in a week and hopefully can catch up with things then. Can you confirm you have v0.9?

Yes, I`m using V09.b

I have now fixed the /0 error (it occurs if the API has problems downloading SOME of the data but gets other bits) in v0.11. This is not yet released on nagiosexchange.org though.

A little configuration help please -

When running the script from the CLI: ./check_vnware.pl --server (ip address) ; and entering the username and password I get the result:
UNKNOWN: Login to VirtualCentre server failed: Error: Server version unavailable at 'https://(Ip Address)/sdk/vimService.wsdl'

I've installed the Perl API as per these instructions on the Nagios server: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer ... nstall.pdf

This is a single ESX 3.5 Update 2 host with no Virtual Centre. Is it possble to retrieve basic parameters from a single ESX server, eg. CPU, Memory, Datastores and Hardware working OK?

Any advice?

This is a tail of /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
[1259292752] SERVICE ALERT: esx;VMWare: Memory;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

Running the script as follows: ./check_vmware --server=[IP Address] --report=memory ; and manually entering the username and password, returns:
Perf stats not available at required interval (300s) or invalid instance.


-EDIT-

I recompiled the nagiod plugins with perl modules, and restarted Nagios. Still no luck, the error is the same as before.

Trying to run the script manually from the command line for either 'net' or 'disk' gets different errors:

root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_vmware --server=[Server IP] -report=disk
Enter username: root
Enter password:
Illegal division by zero at ./check_vmware line 998, <STDIN> line 2.

End Disconnect
root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_vmware --server=[Server IP] -report=net
Enter username: root
Enter password:

root@nagios:
