Posted on 09/21/2012 by Anthony Spiteri Leave a comment Unless my Google skills are seriously on the decline I http://anthonyspiteri.net/how-to-setting-up-nagios-user-for-esxi/ wasn't able to find a definitive post on correctly setting up a nagios user to facilitate esx_checks for monitoring systems such as OpsView and similar Nagios based systems. For our ESXi monitoring https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues/2763 we have chosen to use the OS - vSphere Service Checks. Post here on how to get the OpsView side going. Having a look at the checks in add user OpsView you see the following checks are used nagios_check_1 Our current ESXi 4.1 hosts where working a treat, and this being my first time adding new hosts to the monitoring set, I was confronted with the following errors via Nagstamon: nagios_check_2 So, to get the reporting up the following actions need to be taken on the esxi add user ESXi host. Log into the host directly with the VI Client Go to the Local Users & Groups Tab Add/Modify the nagios user and set the password Add the user to the users group and click ok On the Permissions tab and Add a new permission for the nagios user as Read-Only. nagios_check_3 nagios_check_4 If you want you can run the commands to test access directly from the cli of the OpsView system. PowerShell root@opsview-appliance:/home/conf# ./check_esx -H x.x.x.x -u nagios -p xxxxx -l runtime -s health -w 0 -c 5 CHECK_ESX CRITICAL - Error: Permission to perform this operation was denied. 12 root@opsview-appliance:/home/conf# ./check_esx -H x.x.x.x -u nagios -p xxxxx -l runtime -s health -w 0 -c 5CHECK_ESX CRITICAL - Error: Permission to perform this operation was denied.
