check_vsphere
Description
This monitoring plugin checks various aspects of vSphere through its API for
systems compatible with Naemon, Nagios, or Icinga. 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.
Installation
Install the plugin with pip:
pip install checkvsphere
