host-nic
Description
The host-nic command checks if all nics are connected. It’s basically the same
as --select net --subselect=nic from check_vmware_esx against a host.
Options
Besides the general options this command supports the following options:
| option | description |
|---|---|
--vihost HOSTNAME |
(optional) the name of the HostSystem to check, if omitted the first HostSystem found is checked, which is handy if you run this check directly against the host |
--maintenance-state STATE |
one of OK, WARNING, CRITICAL, UNKNOWN. The status to use when the host is in maintenance mode, this defaults to UNKNOWN except when –mode maintenance, then the default is CRITICAL |
--unplugged_state STATE |
one of OK, WARNING, CRITICAL. The status to use when a nic is in plugged state, defaults to WARNING |
--banned REGEX |
all matching nics matching this REGEXP are ignores, can be used multiple times |
Examples
check_vsphere host-nic \
-s vcenter.example.com -u naemon@vsphere.local -nossl \
--vihost esx-2.example.com --mode status
OK: All nics connected
