Hi, 

The vCenter connector is very good, but it lacks a feature that, for me, is essential. Alerts at the vCenter level only are not detected.

I found some requests on GitHub or on TheWatch:

https://github.com/centreon/centreon-plugins/issues/3854

https://thewatch.centreon.com/infra-monitoring-platform-7/monitoring-vcenter-alarm-not-datacenter-or-cluster-952

https://github.com/centreon/centreon-plugins/issues/2983

 

 

Many of these alarms (at the vCenter level) concern critical elements of the VMware infrastructure (kms, licence, lifecycle, certificate, identity provider,etc...).

It would be a good idea to include these alarms.

Best regards,

Hello :)

Thank you very much for your feedback!

We developed the VMware 8 connector based on the understanding and information available in the API (which is significantly less extensive than what was accessible via the Perl SDK in previous versions). If you have the API endpoints that allow you to retrieve the information you require, could you please provide them to us? We would be delighted to enhance this connector if you have this information.

Best regards.

Alone we go faster, together we go further.
