**DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PLUGIN HAS CEASED AS OF 14/6/2014, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE OVER THIS PROJECT PLEASE CONTACT THE LISTED EMAIL ADDRESS**
Description:
A simple Powershell script for sending VMWare alarm information back to Nagios via the NRDP interface. Compatible with vCenter 3.5, 4.x, 5.x.
Usage:
1. Extract the vmware_sender directory onto your vCenter servers. Ensure there are NO SPACES to the extracted path.
*NOTE* As of the the time of writing, I’ve been unable to get vCenter to execute a Powershell script if there is a space in the path. If you have a workaround please contact me.
2. Create an alarm in vCenter and configure something to monitor, i.e. Virtual Machine CPU usage.
3. Under the actions tab of alarm settings click add then select “Run a command” as the action.
4. In the configuration section put the following:
"cmd.exe" "/c echo.|powershell -NonInteractive -File C:PathTovmware_sendervmware_sender.ps1 -map vsc"
5. Save the alarm.
Read the README file in the zip file for full instructions.
