I can set up all the tests I need for my vCenter server, physical hosts and VM's. Awesome job. Once I got the VMWare Perl SDK installed and configured with all the necessary Perl modules (which the VMWare installer installed automatically), I was able to successfully run the script, but this is the error I got when trying some scripts against my hosts:
CHECK_ESX3.PL CRITICAL - Server version unavailable at 'https://...
This was due to the nature of the ESXi SSL certificate. I disabled SSL by adding the following near the top of my check_esx3.pl script, around line 32 or so:
$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0;
Now it works great!!!

Hi,
I wanted to monitor the VM Esxi server, let me know what agents needs to be configured in ESX.
Please revert for any clarification.

Raj.

In addition to the dependencies listed by leejm_ca (THANKS!) I also had to install Module::Implementation.
bybuckmaster60, February 18, 2012
Thanks to leejm_ca above. I finally got this working on centos 6.2 64bit, nagios 3.2.3. Perl is picky. Took me several hours, several. By the way this is running against a vSphere 5 infrastructure.
Thanks
Thanks

Mark, you're missing a few perl modules.
On Ubuntu
apt-get install libxml-perl libclass-methodmaker-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl

Very nice plugin. I'll echo what the others said on making sure you get the prereq's installed, but after that's done it works perfectly and reports on a lot of parameters for both VMs and DCs. The one nit I have is with setting warn and crit thresholds. Seems it works for some parameters like memory, but setting them to alarm for high datastore utilization doesn't seem to work.

Had this plugin quickly running, after installing VMware perl module's as stated in the help tekst.
I needed a good plugin to monitor VMFS usage. default this plugin shows your free space, but that's not what i wanted. use the -o used option to show your used space, as below:
check_esx3.pl -D $HOSTADDRESS$ -f ~/vm-vsphere -l vmfs -s SAN_SCSI_1 -w 450000 -c 475000 -o used
This is not well documented, but very usefull!

Initial set-up was no problem - just followed the instructions at the top of the check.
Having problems with getting it to work with anything other than the root account on our ESXi 4.1 hosts. Works fine at datacenter level but on the individual host no matter what we do we get
"Error: Permission to perform this operation was denied."
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
After installing the good perl module and vi toolkit, I could get it to work.
But the session file store doesn't seem to work, for me :
libexec/check_esx.pl -H ESXi -u 'login' -p 'pass' -l cpu -S test.session2
CHECK_ESX.PL OK - cpu usage=210.82 MHz (1.41%) | cpu_usagemhz=210.82Mhz;; cpu_usage=1.41%;;
libexec/check_esx.pl -H ESXi -u 'login' -p 'pass' -l cpu -S test.session2
CHECK_ESX.PL CRITICAL - Undefined subroutine &URI::_generic::port called at /usr/share/perl/5.10/VMware/VILib.pm line 236
Content of session file is like this :
cat test.session
#LWP-Cookies-1.0
Set-Cookie3: vmware_soap_session="\"some hash letters and numbers\""; path="/"; domain=ESXi.local; path_spec; discard; version=0
Any idea ?
Thanks

It was indeed necessary to follow leejm_ca's notes. I have it working in Opsview on a Ubuntu-server now monitoring four ESXi hosts running vSphere 4.1

Prerequisites:
I ran into a lot of issues trying to get this plugin to work on my Nagios RedHat 4_Update6 host. Such as…. I received errors when using an old version of CPAN to download, build and install Perl modules required by the check_esx3.pl plugin. To resolve this I upgraded Nagios server to Redhat 5_Update 6 and also received a few awesome suggestions from the Nagiosplug-help communities.
Using the advice I was given I then took the following steps:
- Downloaded check_esx3.pl from Nagios Plugin Exchange
- As per check_esx.txt, I downloaded and installed “VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-4.1.0-254719.i386.tar.gz “
- I then ran the ./check_esx3.pl script and received the error:

I ran into a lot of issues trying to get this plugin to work on my Nagios RedHat 4_Update6 host. Such as…. I received errors when using an old version of CPAN to download, build and install Perl modules required by the check_esx3.pl plugin. To resolve this I upgraded Nagios server to Redhat 5_Update 6 and also received a few awesome suggestions from the Nagiosplug-help communities.
Using the advice I was given I then took the following steps:
- Downloaded check_esx3.pl from Nagios Plugin Exchange
- As per check_esx.txt, I downloaded and installed “VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-4.1.0-254719.i386.tar.gz “
- I then ran the ./check_esx3.pl script and received the error:
