datastore-iops about centreon-vmware HOT 21 CLOSED

I well manage period now. Before no. But you can check directly the ESX server.

from centreon-vmware.

There is no more this constraint if i check directly the ESX server ?
What are the prerequisite to do that ?

from centreon-vmware.

You need the address and an account on it.

from centreon-vmware.

I've checked the documentation https://documentation-fr.centreon.com/docs/centreon-vmware/en/latest/exploitation/index.html but nothing for how to do that.

I've tried some things but no answer.
Which arguments do we need to do that ?

Thanks

An ESX directly is like a vcenter. Same configuration.

from centreon-vmware.

I've had these lines into /etc/centreon/centreon_vmware.pm :
'myESX' => {'url' => 'https://IP_myESX/sdk',
'username' => 'xxx',
'password' => 'xxx'},

Then :
4 # /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --mode=datastore-iops --custommode=connector --connector-hostname='myESX' --connector-port='5700' --container='default' --datastore-name='.*' --filter --verbose --disconnect-status='ok'
UNKNOWN: Cannot get response (timeout received) |

from centreon-vmware.

I've also /etc/init.d/centreon_vmware restart before check ...

from centreon-vmware.

It's not --connector-hostname. It's the container option ;)

from centreon-vmware.

Oups, sorry for that mistake ...

You need to look the log file from the connector.

from centreon-vmware.

Here is message log :
2016-01-28 13:43:28 - 'myESX' Login to VirtualCenter server failed: Error: Permission to perform this operation was denied.

Is it comes from the way that user was created on this ESX ?

from centreon-vmware.

Maybe. You can try to connect with the vsphere client on it.

from centreon-vmware.

By default, local account is created without any rights. We add read only rights and the last request is good now.

Many thanks for your help Quentin.

from centreon-vmware.

You're welcome ;)

Hello Quentin,

It's really not efficient to manage datastore through ESX :
1- You have to select which ESX you will use to monitor only once a datastore
2- If the ESX failed, there is no redondant part to continue monitoring datastore
3- IOPS seems to be mesured only for VM which are hosted by the ESX

For the last point, i have many services with the following message :
"No virtual machines on the datastore"

A same datastore can be with this message through an ESX and with values through an other ESX.

from centreon-vmware.

If it's not ok for you directly with the ESX. Use the vcenter (and add counters value to get for the vcenter).

from centreon-vmware.

Thank you Quentin, but i don't understand what you meen.
Is it possible to get other counters than those you defined through vCenter ? If is that you mean, how can i do that ?

from centreon-vmware.

In french, it's here in vcenter client:
Affichage - Administration - Paramètres serveurs -> Statistiques -> Intervalles de statistiques

from centreon-vmware.

This way is to increment level counter to level 3 ?

from centreon-vmware.

Yes. For the last day.

from centreon-vmware.

Ok, i'm giving up. Next time you will come, we will plan to speak with the VMWare expert !!!
