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.

Hello

I’m having the same issue after upgrading from 24.04 to 25.10.

I have multiple pollers and multiple vcenter, I upgradred the platform fully today, and I can see 2 things

 

for most of the pollers that have the vmware daemon, the json file doesn’t contain the encrypted password, the daemon connect correctly

only one poller has the json with the encrypted login/passwor, and I get the credential error in the log.

 

I don’t know the difference between the poller, I don’t understand why some poller have the encrypted file and not other, there were no issue during the upgrade process and I have used the command to import the key on every pollers…

 

here are the packages

rpm -qa | grep -i vmware
perl-VMware-vSphere-7.0.1-17698549.el8.x86_64
centreon-plugin-Applications-Vmware-Vcsa-Snmp-20251100-1.el8.noarch
centreon-plugin-Virtualization-VMWare-daemon-20250800-1.el8.noarch

centreon-plugin-Virtualization-Vmware2-Connector-Plugin-20251100-1.el8.noarch

 

I ‘m seeing a version for the daemon which is older than the other centreon-vmware package, was there a support for the encrypted credential in version 2025-08 of the daemon?
