This script checks for the installation of VMware Tools on a guest VM. The status is OK if VMware Tools is installed, and CRITICAL if not. If VMware Tools is installed, Nagios will also display the product version. The script creates a temporary text file to list all the installed applications. This file will be created in the C:WindowsTemp directory, but you can modify this location if you want. --------------------------- Installation instructions: --------------------------- - Put the vbs script in the C:Program FilesNSClient++Scripts directory. - In the nsclient.ini file, in the section [/settings/external scripts/scripts], add the following line: check_vmwaretools=c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe //NoLogo scripts\check_vmwaretools.vbs - Restart the NSClient - On the Nagios server, create a service with the following check command: check_command check_nrpe!check_vmwaretools! - Restart Nagios
This is awesome! I have it installed on a windows 2012 R2 server. It was a task to get NPRE setup, but once I did my Nagios 4.3.2 server is reporting the VMware tools version. I may have missed the obvious, but how do i get the same information from a Linux guest VM? I currently stuck the following line in my /etc/nrpe/op5_commands.cfg file command[check_vmwaretools]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 1: -c 1:2 -C vmtoolsd That at least gets me the status that the tools are running. thanks again for the plugin, it runs like a champ.
