Hi,

In Debian Jessie 8.4, startup script didn't work.

When I start it manually, it only work on /usr/lib/nagios/plugins, if not, I have this error:

 /usr/bin/centreon_vmware.pl

Hi, as asked (here : centreon/centreon-plugins#292) I open this issue here :)

I'm looking for help to use the filter with the vmware connector plugin.
I want to be able to check tools status on all my vms that are monitored by my Centreon, but the thing is sometimes centreon hostname for a vm is not exactly the same it is on Vmware (Upper/lower case is the most common issue)

So i was looking to make the check not case dependent.

I'll use '$hostname$' variable from centreon, but if my vm is, for exemple Cyan1 in vmware and cyan1 in centreon, it won't work :

/centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --custommode=connector --connector-hostname=127.0.0.1 --container=default --verbose --mode=tools-vm ---filter --vm-hostname='Cyan1'
WARNING: 1 VM with VMTools not up-to-date |
vmtools not up-to-date:
Cyan1

./centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --custommode=connector --connector-hostname=127.0.0.1 --container=default --verbose --mode=tools-vm ---filter --vm-hostname='cyan1'
UNKNOWN: Cannot find 'VirtualMachine' object |

what should I put in addition to $hostname$ in the vm-hostname regex to be able to check that ?

I tried --vm-hostname='/$hostname$/i' but it didn't work and my regex knowledge stop there :(

Hi Quentin,
It will be great if we can monitor the backups taken in VMware Data Protection.
It looks like there is plugin to do that but it wasn't supported.

Thanks.

Hi, is it possible to add in the apps::vmware::connector::plugin and mode snapshot-vm the name of theguy who made the snapshot and the size of each snapshot ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

As you do for the global vmtools or snapshot check. Could you add a mode to monitor if a CD or DVD is plugged on VMs.

Thanks

Hello,

When setting warning and critical time, it's always getting warning and error state

Sample: generate alert while less than a second time shift:

Hello,
I updated centreon 3.3 to 3.4.
I want install the plugin ces-plugin-Virtualization-VMWare-daemon but I have an error "no packet available"
How to install this plugin on centreon 3.4 ?

regards ?

There is a bug with 'alarm-*' modes:

Hi Quentin,
It would be very great if you can add an option to monitor the storagehealth of datastores (I would like to be alerted when a raid become degraded) and temperature of ESXis hosts.

check_vmware_api from consol.de have this possibility.

Could you add it to centreon_vmware ?

Thanks you very much in advance and merry christmas!

Check offset of esx(i).

It's by ESX. Should also have a total.

Following errors in logs:

Use of uninitialized value within %mapping_state in sprintf at /root/centreon-vmware-master/centreon/vmware/cmdmemhost.pm line 156

Add the capabilites to override the sampling periods for counters. On some standalone ESX, you have a sampling period 300 but we can't get it.

Hello,

I'm using Centreon vmware plugin to monitor VM memory usage. The plugin works well, here is an output example:

OK: Memory Total: 16.00 GB Used: 15.93 GB (99.54%) Free: 75.93 MB (0.46%) | 'used'=17100247040B;;;0;17179869184 'overhead'=98094080B;;;0; 'ballooning'=0B;;;0; 'active'=3596315648B;;;0; 'shared'=79767552B;;;0;

However I would like to trigger alert regarding active memory instead of used memory (most relevant). Active memory is shown in perfdata counters.

Is there a way to trigger alerting on active memory instead of used memory?

Hi,
Following the doc (https://documentation-fr.centreon.com/docs/centreon-vmware/fr/latest/exploitation/index.html#troubleshooting ) I synchronized every servers ( vcenter, esx, centreon... ) with the same ntp server. So I shouldn’t have any trouble ?
The fact is that i always have some " cannot get value for counter" errors. Sometimes, the PerfQuery invocation return null values. I don't know exactly why ? Are you sure it's a safe method ?
The problem is that centreon return code changes from OK to UNKNOWN and i lost metrics.
In common.pm, i was wondering why you don't use the maxSample arg but only startTime and endTime ?
If I modify your code in common.pm ( very dirty , i know ), referring to the sdk doc :

PerfQuerySpec->new(entity => $entry->{entity},
metricId => $perf_metric_ids,
format => 'normal',
intervalId => 20,
maxSample => 15
#startTime => $startTime,
#endTime => $endTime
);

I get no more the "Cannot get value for counters" errors and get realtime metrics : no ?

Hi,
This plugin working on the ESXI (free licence) ?

Regards

Hello Quentin,

Is it possible to add a new mode to discover Esx Host managed by a vCenter with centreon-auto-discovery-server ?

It would create any new ESX host following a host template and optionaly modify /etc/centreon/centreon_vmware.pm for direct controls.
It would disable any ESX host which have been deleted from vCenter.

Thanks.

Hello,
Got a question about those mode : memory-host / memory-vm / swap-host / swap-vm
I just want to know if ballooning is manage by those options and will be triggered ?

Check some function return and hardening communication

First of all, i followed https://github.com/centreon/centreon-vmware/blob/master/doc/en/installation/index.rst and installed with yum the package

When I want to request one of my ESX, i got an error message I don't understand :

I understand there is one more action to do, but don't know exactly what and how

The datastores contain thin provisioned VMware VM disks and at 05:00 a Veeam reverse incremental backup takes place, with 3 VMs ("VM size: 1.4 TB (684.2 GB used)"). Right before the end of the job (05:36) a two week old .vrb is removed, not sure why the provisioned check keeps returning higher values for 4 more checks.

Is the plugin buggy, our setup broken or is this normal behaviour with thin provisioned disks and should I just forget about using warning-provisioned and critical-provisioned for monitoring?

Hello,

Concerning the new constraint of "counter level: 3, sampling level: 2" for the datastore-iops mode :

VMWare says :
"VMware strongly recommends you to not run at higher statistical collection levels for prolonged periods of time".
Source : http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2003885

My customer's experts does not want to increase counter level.

Why did you add this new constraint ? The previous mode was not relevant ?
If it was, would it be possible to keep both ?

Thanks.

Hello,

Can you add centreon_vmware to chkconfig (level 2345 ) ?

Hi,
I would like to monitor a Cluster with xx VM and see if one is poweredoff, and also have it's name.
I thought that --mode=status-vm could do this, but when i use it, it tell me that all VM are OK.
Actually, on a specific Cluster i got 22VM and for now, only 7 are poweredON, but the plugin return OK.

Is it normal or do i miss something?

Hello team,

I use the vmware connector for approx 20 hosts, and it works fine. For one host, there are 2 alarms with issue (other checks are ok).

If I test in command line with verbose:
UNKNOWN: VMWare error (verbose mode for more details) | 'alarm_warning'=0;;;0; 'alarm_critical'=0;;;0;
Can't call method "type" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share/perl5/VMware/VICommon.pm line 1501.
Checking host xxxx.example.com
0 warn alarm(s) found(s) - 0 critical alarm(s) found(s)

The same check works on other hosts, so, it couldn't be a Perl package issue, no?

Can't locate ZMQ/LibZMQ4.pm in @inc (@inc contains: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/centreon-plugins /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/centreon-plugins/apps/vmware/connector/custom/connector.pm line 26.

Hello

I have 2 servers normally identical.
I have installed on the 2 servers
ces-plugins-Virtualization-VMWare-client-2.3.1-1.el6.noarch.rpm
ces-plugins-Virtualization-VMWare-daemon-2.3.1-1.el6.noarch.rpm

I have the same /etc/centreon/centreon_vmware.pm
%centreon_vmware_config = (
vsphere_server => {
'ale' => {'url' => 'https://x.y.z.t/sdk',
'username' => 'monitoring',
'password' => 'xxxxxx'}
}

);

1;

When I do the test on the 1rst server
usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/centreon_vmware.pl --config=/etc/centreon/centreon_vmware.pm
2017-10-18 16:54:44 - Create vsphere sub-process for 'ale'
2017-10-18 16:54:44 - [Server accepting clients]
2017-10-18 16:54:44 - 'ale' init begin
2017-10-18 16:54:44 - 'ale' init done
2017-10-18 16:54:44 - 'ale' Vsphere connection in progress
2017-10-18 16:54:44 - 'ale' Vsphere connection ok
2017-10-18 16:54:44 - 'ale' Create perf counters cache in progress
2017-10-18 16:54:45 - 'ale' Create perf counters cache done

It seems OK

On the second server I have
/usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/centreon_vmware.pl --config=/etc/centreon/centreon_vmware.pm
2017-10-18 16:54:26 - Create vsphere sub-process for 'ale'

2017-10-18 16:54:36 - 'ale' Vsphere connection in progress

But I see nothing going out of the server wit a tcpdump
tcpdump -i eth0 host x.y.z.t
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
.....

In the log there are these lines

and when I use the online command

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --custommode=connector --connector-hostname=127.0.0.1 --container=ale --mode=memory-host --warning=85 --critical=95
UNKNOWN: Container connection problem |

Have you an Idea, I have personally no idea !

On the long output from the alarm-datacenter mode, the VMware's object are not displayed, only the type :
[yellow] [Utilisation de la banque de données sur disque] [2015-11-09T13:32:01.012999Z] [Datastore] Alarme par défaut pour contrôler l'utilisation du disque de la banque de données
[yellow] [Utilisation de la banque de données sur disque] [2015-11-30T14:00:54.930435Z] [Datastore] Alarme par défaut pour contrôler l'utilisation du disque de la banque de données
[yellow] [état Consolidation de machine virtuelle nécessaire] [2015-12-23T15:48:28.654943Z] [VirtualMachine] Alarme par défaut déclenchée lorsque l'état Consolidation de machine virtuelle nécessaire est défini

Here the command and error message:
The plugin got the last version :-)

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --mode=alarm-host --custommode=connector --connector-hostname=127.0.0.1 --container=xxxx --verbose
UNKNOWN: VMWare error (verbose mode for more details) | 'alarm_warning'=0;;;0; 'alarm_critical'=0;;;0;

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I notice a wrong output for notinstalled-status. In fact, whereas it should be 'critical' by default, 'warning' status is returned :

#> ./centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --mode=tools-vm --custommode=connector --connector-hostname=127.0.0.1 --container='mycontainer' --vm-hostname='myvm' --filter --nopoweredon-skip
WARNING: 1 VM with VMTools not installed |

Then if I try to foce output with the "tools-notinstalled-status" option, I still get a 'warning' status :

#> ./centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --mode=tools-vm --custommode=connector --connector-hostname=127.0.0.1 --container='mycontainer' --vm-hostname='myvm' --filter --nopoweredon-skip --tools-notinstalled-status='critical'
WARNING: 1 VM with VMTools not installed |

Strange behaviour. If I set "tools-notup2date-status" option to critical, it affects the "notinstalled-status" output :

#> ./centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --mode=tools-vm --custommode=connector --connector-hostname=127.0.0.1 --container='mycontainer' --vm-hostname='myvm' --filter --nopoweredon-skip --tools-notup2date-status='critical'
CRITICAL: 1 VM with VMTools not installed |

Any advice?

Hi,
The mode "vmoperation-cluster" is always creating his buffer.
I don't see nothing on '/var/lib/centreon/centplugins/'.
Do I miss something ?
Thanks
