check_vsphere
This is a monitoring plugin for naemon, nagios or icinga compatible systems that
can check various things against the vSphere API. It is meant as a replacement
for check_vmware_esx, check_vmware_api and the like. These are all written
in Perl. This rewrite is needed because the Perl SDK for the vSphere API was
marked deprecated by VMware.
Note
It’s not a drop in replacement for any of the tools mentioned above.The only supported programming alternatives are Java and Python. We chose python for the implementation.
