check_vsphere's Introduction

About

This is a monitoring plugin for naemon, icinga, nagios like systems. It is meant as a successor of check_vmware_esx. check_vmware_esx is written Perl but VMWare™ has dropped support for the Perl SDK. So this plugin is written in Python using pyVmomi.

Features

The plugin has modes to check various aspects of these components:

datastores
host-runtime
host-service
host-storage
host-nic
snapshots
vsan

Check the Documentation for further details.

Installation

pip install checkvsphere

check_vsphere's Issues

Exclude for media check like allowed for snapshots

For the media check it would be helpful if VMs Names can be configured to be a allowed to have media configured

implement vsan object health check

In the GUI we can see:

Cluster->Monitor->Skyline Health->vsan object health

We can access that stuff with a stupid addon to pyVmomi:

https://developer.vmware.com/web/sdk/8.0/vsan-python

get VsanObjectOverallHealth of the Cluster
analyze the objectHealthDetail property
create a check result based on vim.host.VsanObjectHealth.VsanObjectHealthState
of the objectHealthDetails

Here is an in depth explanation of VsanObjectHealthState:

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2108319

Monitor Alarms

add a monitor subcommand.

take inspiration from https://github.com/atc0005/check-vmware/blob/master/docs/plugins/check_vmware_alarms.md

documentation website offline

hello!
looks like https://datamuc.github.io/check_vsphere/ is configured wrongly (this link is referenced inside README). I get a 404.
Kind Regards, Matt

Datastore Monitoring

A usage monitoring of datastores like the volumes on check_vmware_esx would be nice

host-nic help

Review host-nic help, seems --ignored and --unplugged-state have the same docuementation ...

Session management

vmware/pyvmomi#607

If sessionmanagement becomes an issue, maybe look into that issue.

Snapshot checks

check_vmware_health
check_vmware_snapshots.pl

with modes

-S snapshots -s age
-S snapshots -s count

black/whitelisting is important

net nic

implement check_\vmware_esx' -S net -s nic

Check services

i.e.:

check_vmware_esx -S service -s service -W DCUI,vpxa,ntpd

implement volume check

check_vmware_esx: -S volumes --usedspace -w 90% -c 90%

dc runtime

Implement replacements for:

check_vmware_esx -D vcenter -S runtime -s listhost --alertonly

check_vmware_esx -D vcenter -S runtime -s listhosts

check_vmware_esx -D vcenter -S runtime -s listvms

probably check_vsphere dc-runtime ....

host maintenance

implement a check that is critical when a host is in maintenance

Runtime Health mode

Mode in the old plugin: check_vmware_esx -S runtime -s health

Example output:

OK: All 93 health checks are GREEN: fan (13x), processor (3x), CPU (5x), battery (1x), voltage (4x), systemBoard (1x), memory (1x), other (1x), Memory (5x), Storage (10x), power (10x), temperature (39x)

WARNING: 1 health issue(s) found in 78 checks: 1) [Warning] [Type: battery] [Name: Battery 1 Megacell Status] [Label: Yellow] [Summary: Sensor is operating under conditions that are non-critical]

CRITICAL: 1 health issue(s) found in 110 checks: 1) [Critical] [Type: Storage] [Name: Disk or Disk Bay 0 HDD1_STATUS: Drive Fault - Assert] [Label: Red] [Summary: Sensor is operating under critical conditions]
