I have a problem checking virtual machines.

./check_esx2 -N -H host -C public -v 0 -l STATE

>No virtual hostname specified with -v


I have tested -v with:
vmIdx (1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.2.1.1.1)
vmDisplayName (1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.2.1.1.2)
vmConfigFile (1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.2.1.1.3)
and with return from -l LIST (1/1)

¿what virtual machine reference must i use?

Whit Virtual Machine memory

./check_esx2 -N -H 192.168.0.20 -C public -v 0 -l MEM -w 80 -c 90
Memory free: 3790Mb (92.69%) [Total available 4088.74Mb]

Data return is Memory from VMWare server. I think my problem is VirtualMachine Name too.

Thanks.

Thanks for reply Steve.

Perhaps, problem is snmp config... I have only a Windows Virtual machine named "W3K3-1"

Listing Virtual Host:

# ./check_esx2 -N -H 192.168.0.20 -C public -l LIST
VHosts: 0/1 up: W2K3-1

#./check_esx2 -N -H 192.168.0.20 -C public -v W2K3 -l STATE

or

#./check_esx2 -N -H 192.168.0.20 -C public -v W2K3-1 -l STATE

I have no results to check.
Thanks.

The last 2 should both have produced an output (telling you the vhost is down). What message do you get? I will check this, it *might* be something to do with having no vhosts running at all (the ESX server helpfully removes the entire MIB tree in some cases)

You are right. Problem is when there is no anything machine running.
If there is not machine running, there is not response in plugin.
Whit machine running I get response:

>check_esx2 -N -H 192.168.0.20 -C public -v W2K3-1 -l STATE
VHost W2K3-1 is up (ID: 142)

Thanks Steve.
