vmware plugin doesnt work since upgrade to Centreon 25.10

Hello everyone,

We are monitoring a Vcenter v8 cluster, and all was fine with Centreon 22 (so using the sdk file).

Since upgrade to Centreon 25.10, connector is not working anymore. I saw that now there is a JSON file instead of the PM one (file is deprecated).

I used the configurator to add my Vcenter, and I can see the JSON file filled with the informations (server ip address and login/pwd stored in crypted mode). As I understand, Centreon 25 is now storing credentials in crypted mode.

Issue I’m facing is:

  • I believe that the Vcenter platform is receiving the user credentials in crypted mode so I got a “user failed connection”. I looked in the vcenter log files for this. so the Vcenter is not able to authenticate as user is crypted and unknown for him.

 

Is there a way to fix this ? I know that the restAPI plugin is designed for Vcenter8, but could we monitor all the same functionalities as the vmware_centreon plugin ?

 

Many thanks for your replies, 

 Antoni

I don’t have other issues with other plugins but they are not designed in same way, I mean they use only the snmp things.
