Re: http://cars.lostroncos.org/2008/03/07/updated-esx-3i-scripts-for-nagios/comment-page-1/#comment-43 – You can also prefix the check command with “/usr/bin/perl ” (no quotes). It also takes care of the issue.

Hi,
Thank you for the script. I need your help with the check_3i_storage script. The script only changes status when the status in Virtual Client changes to Warning or Alarm. However, when the status in VC is unknown, the script does not update the status in Nagios to reflect that. Please help me with the script to get it to recognize the unknown status. Btw all the plugin links points to check_3i_storage. Can you fix that as well? Thank you!!

I started messing with this stuff just for getting the temperature value. I`m working on a Dell PE2950 and VIclient shows the temp.
I can reach the value via web console:
https://server-ip/mob/?moid=ha-host&doPath=runtime.healthSystemRuntime.systemHealthInfo.numericSensorInfo

[4] HostNumericSensorInfo
NAME TYPE VALUE
baseUnits string “Degrees C”
currentReading long 2200

That`s 22º!
I`m trying to customize the request but it`s beating me…
Can you help me with the script to get the temp into nagios??
Thanks!!

Thanks Carlos for this great scripts, they are very usefull.
I´ve been working with them and have the same problem mentioned in previous comments “(Return code of 255 is out of bounds)”
While the check works fine from the command line, it doesn´t in Nagios.
I´ve SOLVED it!!
The problem resides on the command definition example you´ve posted here:

define command{
command_name check_3i_storage
command_line $USER1$/check_3i_storage –server $HOSTADDRESS$ –username $ARG1$ –password $ARG2$}

On the last line, the last character should´t be “}”, this character shoud be alone in a new line:

define command{
command_name check_3i_storage
command_line $USER1$/check_3i_storage –server $HOSTADDRESS$ –username $ARG1$ –password $ARG2$
}

For copy&paste people like me this could be a trouble
This way works perfect and no more “(Return code of 255 is out of bounds)”

Glad to help others!
Facundo.
