Overview ¶
Nagios plugin used to monitor virtual hardware versions.
PURPOSE ¶
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).
PROJECT HOME ¶
See our GitHub repo (https://github.com/atc0005/check-vmware) for the latest code, to file an issue or submit improvements for review and potential inclusion into the project.
USAGE ¶
See our main README for supported settings and examples.
CAVEATS ¶
As of this writing, I am unaware of a way to query the current vSphere environment for the latest available hardware version. As a workaround for that lack of knowledge, this plugin applies an automatic baseline of "highest version discovered" across evaluated VMs. Any VMs with a hardware version not at that highest version are flagged as problematic. Please file an issue or open a discussion in this project's repo if you're aware of a way to directly query the desired value from the current vSphere environment.
Instead of trying to determine how far behind each VM is from the newest version, this plugin assumes that any deviation is a WARNING level issue. See GH-33 for future potential changes to this behavior.
