host-runtime

Description

The host-runtime provides various checks against a hosts runtime. It’s basically the same as --select runtime 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
--mode MODE	what to check to perform, one of con, health, issues, status, temp, version, maintenance
--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
