Hello
Using the vSphere plugin with some vCenter 6.5 appliances, no Datastore checks are being added
Looking at the diagnostic output, the vCenters are providing DS info. The check_mk version is very old, so perhaps the plugin can’t understand vCenter 6.5 ?
Thanks in advance for any advice
Cheers
Garth

Hallo,
which Version of check-mk are you using?
Is it possible for you to install a testsite with the latest 1.4 Version?
A standard check using the ESX datasource works fine here.
Ralf
I can also vouch it’s working fine for me as well on 1.4.0p34 and many versions prior to that.
Did you make sure to add your hostname or IP for your vCenter in the ESX Datastores plugin?

Hi Guys
Thanks for the reply, the check_mk running on this customer is 1.2.8p8
We had problems compiling newer versions from source so we are planning to move to the packaged version in the future.
Jon can you clarify ‘ Did you make sure to add your hostname or IP for your vCenter in the ESX
Datastores plugin?’
Do you mean a ‘ESX Datastores (used space and growth)’ rule? Yes I have a global rule in place that should apply to all vCenters/VCSAs
Cheers

Yes the ‘Check state of VMware ESX via vSphere’ is configured to query vCenter, with correct user details and retrieve info on Datastores

Diagnostic output of the host is as expected and I can see datastore info

Further to this, yes I have another vcenter (6.0) that adds datastore checks no problem.
Comparing the agent output, the format is identical so it doesn’t look like anything changed with 6.5

Hi all
Looks like it was a rogue rule, I moved the VCSA’s to another folder and created a new host tag/rule for vcenter 6.5 and now it is
now working.
