CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL CRITICAL - Server version unavailable -Nagios Alert
Need to understand Error and solution if this is issue with Nagios app running on Linux server or if all resulted due to Network Glitch
Error in Alert is
"HOST CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL CRITICAL - Server version unavailable at 'https://192.168.1.17:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl/5.10/VMwar
What all are precautionary actions required to avoid such error alerts ?
Is there nay recommendation before we configure Nagios for N number of alerts /Devices /VMware /vCentere
How actually load is decided before we configure nagios for monitoring

Is it module or worker file we need to update ?
Any best practice to follow here in such situation ?

Is it none related to Vmware? as Nagios is claiming its all due to VMware , what all can be checked @VMware if required and what all we can cross check with Nagios -Nagios is configured @ Linux VM running on Vc which is monitored by Nagios
Is there any thing to be checked with VC Certificate ?
What if we have multiple versions managed by VC like 5.5 ,6.0 and 6.5
Any version of Nagios ,Plugin ,worker to be verified and changed ?
How can we distribute load for per worker?
Any config/update required for perl /API /plugins @Vc level
and std process we need to follow before configuring worker for specified alerts load/devices to be managed
Thanks

Our customer service team is currently offline. We have reported to our solution guides that you would like assistance solving this question.
please advise if there is anything to be verified @vmware end or if we can dig more into Nagios config to get this fixed
There are several things at play here.
a) check_vmware_api.pl (and dependancies)...
b) check the URL... a https://IPaddress/ might fail
c) wdsl is a Web Socket Description Language (See https://www.w3schools.com/XML/xml_wsdl.asp , https://www.tutorialspoint.com/wsdl/wsdl_example.htm , https://filext.com/file-extension/WSDL )
a) The dependcy is the current SDK for this check what check_vmware_api.pl is based on.
see the variable: perl_module_instructions inside for more info. This might need updating the plugin from the nagios exchange.
(Not complete Nagios as has been suggested before).
b) HTTPS requires a certificate, ceritifcates are based on hostnames, not ip addresses. You may want to verify using http:// instead, or use a host name and correctly use a certificate if needed.
This can be verified using f.e. curl https://192.168.1.17:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl -o vimService.wsdl -v
c) Is the WDSL obtained valid? this i cannot verify, appearantly there should be a call description inside about how to get the version value.
(that is what the wdsl is about).
