Cet article décrit comment surveiller un hôte VMWare ESXi ou vSphere avec Nagios, en utilisant le plugin OP5 Check ESX écrit en PERL.
Ce plugin peut surveiller aussi bien un unique serveur ESXi/vSphere, du VirtualCenter/vCenter Server et des machines virtuelles individuelles. Ici nous allons voir comment surveiller un hôte ESXi 4.
Ce tutoriel a été fait sur une machine CentOS, il sera peut-etre nécessaire d’adpater certains chemins pour votre distribution.
Installation
Les pré-requis pour faire fonctionner ce plugin est d’installer le VMWare Perl SDK disponible sur le site de l’éditeur.
Téléchargez le fichier sur la machine, par exemple dans le répertoire root, décompressez-le et lancez l’installateur comme ceci :
# cd /root
# tar xvzf VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-4.1.0-254719.i386.tar.gz
# cd vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib/
# ./vmware-install.pl
Suivre les instructions données par le script. Suivant votre configuration, certaines dépendances PERL devront etre installées pour que le SDK fonctionne correctement. Lorsque ceci est fait, nous pouvons obtenir le plugin ici, et le copier dans /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
. Le rendre exécutable :
# cd /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
# chmod a+x check_esx
Configuration
Maintenant, la réelle configuration de Nagios peut commencer. Nous avons besoin d’un nom d’utilisateur et d’un mot de passe pour accèder à l’hôte ESXi, nous allons les définir dans des variables dans le fichier /etc/nagios/resource.cfg
plus sécurisé, car ces informations restent cachées des CGIs :
$USER11$=username
$USER12$=password
Dans ce tutoriel, les ressources suivantes vont etre surveillées : CPU, memory usage, net usage, runtime status et IO/read/write. Mais beaucoup d’autres sont disponibles, voir les références ici. Ci-dessous les nouvelles commandes relatives à ESXi à ajouter dans /etc/nagios/objects/command.cfg
(sont affichées ici uniquement les commandes pour ESXi, et non le code complet du fichier command.cfg
, vous devez donc les ajouter en fin de fichier) :
# Surveiller une machine vmware esxi
# cpu
define command{
command_name check_esx_cpu
command_line $USER1$/check_esx -H $HOSTADDRESS$ \
-u $USER11$ -p $USER12$ -l cpu -s usage -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
# memory usage
define command{
command_name check_esx_mem
command_line $USER1$/check_esx -H $HOSTADDRESS$ \
-u $USER11$ -p $USER12$ -l mem -s usage -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
# net usage
define command{
command_name check_esx_net
command_line $USER1$/check_esx -H $HOSTADDRESS$ \
-u $USER11$ -p $USER12$ -l net -s usage -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
# runtime status
define command{
command_name check_esx_runtime
command_line $USER1$/check_esx -H $HOSTADDRESS$ \
-u $USER11$ -p $USER12$ -l runtime -s status
}
# io read
define command{
command_name check_esx_ioread
command_line $USER1$/check_esx -H $HOSTADDRESS$ \
-u $USER11$ -p $USER12$ -l io -s read -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
# io write
define command{
command_name check_esx_iowrite
command_line $USER1$/check_esx -H $HOSTADDRESS$ \
-u $USER11$ -p $USER12$ -l io -s write -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
Et un exemple de configuration pour un hôte Nagios appellé esxi01 sous /etc/nagios/hosts/esxi01.cfg
:
# Machine esx01
define host{
use linux-server
host_name esxi01
alias VMWare ESXi 01
address 192.168.1.100
}
# Définit un service pour "pinger" la machine locale
define service{
use generic-service
host_name esxi01
service_description PING
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
}
# Surveillance VMWare
# cpu
define service{
use generic-service
host_name esxi01
service_description ESXi CPU Load
check_command check_esx_cpu!80!90
}
# memory usage
define service{
use generic-service
host_name esxi01
service_description ESXi Memory usage
check_command check_esx_mem!80!90
}
# net usage
define service{
use generic-service
host_name esxi01
service_description ESXi Network usage
check_command check_esx_net!102400!204800
}
# runtime status
define service{
use generic-service
host_name esxi01
service_description ESXi Runtime status
check_command check_esx_runtime
}
# io read
define service{
use generic-service
host_name esxi01
service_description ESXi IO read
check_command check_esx_ioread!40!90
}
# io write
define service{
use generic-service
host_name esxi01
service_description ESXi IO write
check_command check_esx_iowrite!40!90
}
Voilà, c’est terminé. Il suffit de re-démarrer Nagios et de patienter quelques instants (ou de faire un re-schedule) pour voir la surveillance des nouvelles ressources active.

Note : cet article existait déjà en langue anglaise sur ce site, il s’agit juste de sa traduction dans la langue de Molière ^.^
Excellent tuto disons plutot bonne traduction.
J’apporte quelques petits détails pour certaines choses
Pour ceux par hasard qui on un problème pour faire fonctionner le script. Si sur votre interface graphique de nagios il y a marqué « null » lors du check des services c’est qu’il vous manque plusieurs choses.
Il faut installer CPAM.
Ensuite lancer dans un terminal la commande :
cpan
Maintenant vous avez un nouveau terminal commençant par cpan >. Il faut maintenant taper :
install Class::Accessor
install Config::Tiny
install Math::Calc::Units
Params::Validate
Nagios::Plugin
Et voilà maintenant c’est ok.
Pour choisir le plugin prendre celui là :
check_esx.pl: Added support for Proxy Switches
Ensuite sur la nouvelle page en petit sous du texte en haut il y marquer check_esx3.pl
Il faut cliquer dessus.
Puis en rouge toujours en haut sur check_esx3.pl faire clique droit puis enregistrer la cible du lien sous …
Voilà, il faut mettre ce plugin que vous allez renommer en check_esx dans /usr/local/nagios/libexec enfin tout dépend de votre config.
Bonsoir,
Merci pour le tuto mais moi je bute sur un autre problème. Mes ESXi sont tous sur clé USB dans les serveurs. Je décompresse du coup le SDK dans l’espace dédié aux images ISO et aux vms pour ne pas « bouffer » de la place sur la clé mais pas de Perl dans le système pour exécuter l’installation. Ou alors je n’ai pas compris le truc ?
C’est bien sur le système ESXi qu’il faut installer le SDK ou sur le serveur de monitoring ?
Merci
Finalement, je me le suis installé sur le serveur de monitoring … et çà marche après pas mal d’installation via CPAN de toutes les dépendances ! Mais au moins, rien à faire sur les ESXi ! Merci
Oui l’installation est à faire sur le serveur de monitoring, on ne touche pas aux ESXi.
Content que tout fonctionne pour toi.
Autre chose, maintenant que tout roule pour moi grâce au check_esx. Comment remonter les infos des disques durs : etat du Raid, présence du hot spare, état des disques ? une idée ?
Super tuto! Merci beaucoup!
J’ai eu un léger blocage donc si ça peut aider : sur les check disk, un « -c 100000 » definit un max, pour definir un min, il faut « -c 100000: »

Merci de l’info Deltaforest.
Bonjour,
Merci pour ce bon tuto bien détaillé.
J’utilise ce plugin depuis un petit moment mais j’ai quelques erreurs aléatoire. Plusieurs fois dans la journée j’ai un message d’erreur et le service passe en CRITICAL : SOAP request error – possibly a protocol issue: 500 Can’t read entity body: Resource temporarily unavailable. Ceci ce produit sur mes 4 esxi.
Mes ESXi sont en version 4.1 update 2
Quelqu’un aurait t’il une idée?
Merci.
