Re: Monitoring VMWare deamon

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

the virtual server doesn't have the pidfile, but the pattern based check can be used, for example:

check process vmware-mymachine matching "/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx .*mymachine.vmx"

Regards,

Martin

Hello all

 

I’m trying to configure monit to monitor vmware daemon, has anyone tried it before?

 

I’m willing to use the following configuration:

 

#VMWARE

check process ssh with pidfile /var/run/vmnet-bridge-0.pid

            group vmware

            start program = "/etc/init.d/vmware start"

            stop program = "/etc/init.d/vmware stop"

 

check process ssh with pidfile /var/run/vmware vmware-hostd.PID

            group vmware

            start program = "/etc/init.d/vmware start"

            stop program = "/etc/init.d/vmware stop"

 

check process ssh with pidfile /var/run/vmware watchdog-webAccess.PID

            group vmware

            start program = "/etc/init.d/vmware start"

            stop program = "/etc/init.d/vmware stop"

 

check file vmware-authdlauncher with path /usr/sbin/vmware-authdlauncher

            group vmware

            if failed checksum then unmonitor

            if failed permission 755 then unmonitor

            if failed uid root then unmonitor

            if failed gid root then unmonitor

 

check file vmware-hostd with path /usr/sbin/vmware-hostd

            group vmware

            if failed checksum then unmonitor

            if failed permission 755 then unmonitor

            if failed uid root then unmonitor

            if failed gid root then unmonitor

 

check file vmnet-bridge with path /usr/bin/vmnet-bridge

            group vmware

            if failed checksum then unmonitor

            if failed permission 755 then unmonitor

            if failed uid root then unmonitor

            if failed gid root then unmonitor

 

 

check file vmware with path /usr/bin/vmware

            group vmware

            if failed checksum then unmonitor

            if failed permission 755 then unmonitor

            if failed uid root then unmonitor

            if failed gid root then unmonitor

 

 

check file vmware-watchdog with path /usr/bin/vmware-watchdog

            group vmware

            if failed checksum then unmonitor

            if failed permission 755 then unmonitor

            if failed uid root then unmonitor

            if failed gid root then unmonitor

 

 

check file vmware-vdiskmanager with path /usr/bin/vmware-vdiskmanager

            group vmware

            if failed checksum then unmonitor

            if failed permission 755 then unmonitor

            if failed uid root then unmonitor

            if failed gid root then unmonitor

 

Does anyone have any other suggestion of configuration?

 

Is possible to use monit to monit the virtual server?
