centreon-vmware

"centreon-vmware" is a free and open source project. The project can be used with Centreon and all monitoring softwares compatible with Nagios plugins. It's a Perl daemon in charged to get back VMWare indicators. This program uses the SDK Perl provided by VMWare.

The connector could get following indicators:

For ESX Server:
- Current alarms
- CPU usage
- Memory usage
- Swap usage
- Interface trafics
- Count VMs
- Health status
- Global status
- Uptime
For Virtual Machines:
- CPU usage
- Memory usage
- Swap usage
- IOPs on datastores
- Limits configured (CPU, memory and disks)
- Snapshot age and consolidation
- Thinprovisioning configuration
- VMTools state
For Datastores:
- Usage
- IOPs
- Usage in bytes/s
- Snapshost sizes
For Cluster:
- Operations on virtual machines (Clone, VMotion,...)
For Datacenter:
- Current alarms

You can check one or X entities for each checks. Moreover, you can also "scope" it. It means: i can check the virtual machines of a datacenter(s) and/or a cluster(s).

Please follow the documentation for the installation: https://github.com/centreon/centreon-vmware/blob/master/doc/en/installation/index.rst

Examples

Check vmtools states of virtual machines (with name matching the regexp 'prd'):

$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --connector-hostname=127.0.0.1 --container=default --verbose --mode=tools-vm --display-description --vm-hostname='prd' --filter
WARNING: 1 VM with VMTools not installed |
vmtools not installed:
    prd-Reporting - 10.0.0.1 [description xxxx]

Check datastore IOPs of virtual machines (with name matching the regexp 'centreon-central-1|Formation'):

$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --connector-hostname=127.0.0.1 --container=default --verbose --mode=datastore-vm --vm-hostname='woot|test-migration' --filter

Check the health of ESX Servers:

$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::connector::plugin --connector-hostname=127.0.0.1 --container=default --verbose --mode=health-host --esx-hostname='.*' --filter --disconnect-status='ok'
