Overview ¶
Nagios plugin used to monitor Virtual Machine disk consolidation status.
PURPOSE ¶
This plugin monitors the `consolidationNeeded` property of evaluated Virtual Machines. The status of this property indicates whether one or more disks for a Virtual Machine require consolidation. This can happen when a snapshot is deleted, but its associated disk is not committed back to the base disk. This situation can cause backup failures and performance issues.
The current design of this plugin is to evaluate *all* Virtual Machines, whether powered off or powered on. If you have a use case for evaluating *only* powered on VMs by default, please post it to https://github.com/atc0005/check-vmware/discussions/176 providing some details for your use-case.
The output for this plugin is designed to provide the one-line summary needed by Nagios for quick identification of a problem while providing longer, more detailed information for use in email and Teams notifications (https://github.com/atc0005/send2teams).
