ESXi 4.0 Hardware and Software Monitoring VMWare

[ehermouet]

hi all,

i permit to post again my previous post because nobody help me :'(

i think it's because i have don't understand all info.

that i do:

install hp agent on esx server
install vi perl on zabbix server
wbem is on zabbix server and esx server

that's right ?

edit
i have this error message
* /usr/bin/wbemcli: Cim: (3) CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE: Invalid namespace

when i do this /usr/bin/wbemcli ei -noverify "https://root:*****@192.168.1.33/root/hpq:SMX_FAN"

agent is installed and i have accès with http interface on esx server


and on zabbix 2 i have -> After upgrade to zabbix 2.0.2 items API[*] became unsupported.
/etc/zabbix/zabbix_perl_api_vmware.pl [IP] [password] [username] work and i have my tmp file (but only work manualy)

tks advance

Check macros definition in zabbix hosts
{$HOST} - IP address of ESXi hypervisor
{$PASSWORD} – password for ESXi hypervisor
{$USERNAME} - username for ESXi hypervisor

Sorry, I don't testing this on Zabbix 2.0. I only plan migration Zabbix 1.8-> 2.0 on my systems. After migration this problem will be fixed.

[ehermouet]

on zabbix 2.0 i have unsupported...

well maybe ->

this /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

For monitoring hardware I use script

For monitoring software I use script
/etc/zabbix/zabbix_perl_api_vmware.pl IP password username


it's on agent esx ? or serveur zabbix ?

[ehermouet]

me again )

Server version unavailable at 'https://192.168.1.33:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl/5.12/VMware/VICommon.pm line 545.

i have error message when i do -> /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/performance/viperformance.pl --host esx2 --server 192.168.1.33 --countertype net --samples 1 --instance "*" --username root --password xxxx

i do this from zabbix server. it's good ?

[dima_dm]

On Zabbix Server. In ESXi don't used Service Console VM.

Add $ENV{'PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME'} = 0;
in zabbix_perl_api_vmware.pl

[ehermouet]

Tks dmitry for your reply, very appreciated.

so i copy $ENV{'PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME'} = 0; on the begining of perl file but same result i must execute export on ubuntu. so now i have this error -> host it's host name on zabbix server ? because it's the name and it print host not found.

/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/performance/viperformance.pl --host esx2 --server 192.168.1.33 --countertype net --samples 1 --instance "*" --username root --password xxx
Host esx2 not found.

edit

/etc/zabbix/zabbix_perl_api_vmware.pl 192.168.1.33 xxxroot
0

i have my exported file coool

No. In this util --host is name of ESX (see in vSphere Client, сheck char register in name).

but with wbem error 5 :s when i do /usr/bin/wbemcli -nl ei -noverify "https://root:[email protected]/root/hpq:SMX_FAN" on putty i have my data :s but not with script.

See in vSphere Client ->Hardware Status
Do you see FAN devices?
May be in you hardware not all components of server have monitoring chip, or server don't have FAN, as in Blade Servers, where FAN on chassis.

See monitoring devices list in script zabbix_wbem_vmware.pl
my %WBEM=(
"SMX_NumericSensor" =>["DeviceID","OperationalStatus","CurrentReading "]
,"SMX_FAN" =>["Name","OperationalStatus"]
,"SMX_Processor" =>["DeviceID","OperationalStatus"]
,"SMX_Memory" =>["Name","OperationalStatus"]
,"SMX_PowerSupplyModule"=>["Name","OperationalStatus"]
,"SMX_SAArraySystem" =>["","OperationalStatus"]
);
You can delete missing devices.

on vi i see all status of all hardware.
it's esx 4.1 not esxi i don't know if there is little change.

yes it's work for name it's case sensitive. tks

[ehermouet]

It's #,"SMX_Memory" =>["Name","OperationalStatus"]

when i coment it it works. do you know how to correct it ?

tks advance

See HP Wbem manual, may be in you servers use other WBEM class. Do you see memory status in vSphere Client ->Hardware Status?

[ehermouet]

you have wright, memory result blank.
on vi client i have only memory but not all memory status.

[ehermouet]

How zabbix take information from txt file ? because on my graph i have no data and maybe there is an error in my template or config file.

i do interval 60s and cron every min.
