' The VMware plugin requires a lot of execution time due to the use of a heavy SOAP API. Therefore, in systems with a large number of entities to monitor, it might be necessary to distribute the load among several Pandora FMS software agents or choose another programming mode. All the information about it is in the following sections1.2.8.2 Programming the execution from cron systemYou can schedule the execution of the plugin from the cron system itself. The plugin allows you to configure Custom Performance Counters for ESX hosts and virtual machines.
Some modules may require to have VMware tools installed1.2.11 VMware Event MonitoringThis feature was created to copy event information from VMware vCenter to Pandora FMS.These events belong to the Pandora FMS Event Management workflow and are associated to the agent which represents the vCenter they come from (if the agent exists when the event is created).The dump process respects all the information and severity degree which VMware indicates on event creation. The events with 'critical', 'warning' or 'information' severity levels keep these levels in Pandora FMS. The following picture shows an example of the detailed information of a dumped event from VMware to Pandora FMS.Related to the events present in Pandora FMS, all actions available for event management can be performed, e.g. Alert creation, filter configuration, incident creation, etc.1.2.12 VMware Virtual Architecture management and displayTwo extensions are distributed along with the VMWare plugin: VMware Manager and VMware View. VMware View allows easily seeing all VMware architecture components. Through VMware Manager, virtual machines can be managed, and the activity from Pandora FMS Console can be stopped, started, reseted or cancelled. These extensions are optional and will solely work together with Pandora FMS 4.0 or newer versions.From plugin versions 4.1 onwards, these extensions are encompassed by a single extension, which in turn is divided into the previous two, and one last extension called VMware Settings.
This last extension is supported only from Pandora FMS version 5.1 onwards.1.2.12.1 Using VMware View ExtensionsTo start using the VMware architecture view, click on 'View Agents' - 'VMware View' in the monitoring menu.VMware View extension displays a map with all the VMware architecture discovered.The map bears elements of VMware architecture (virtual machines, ESX, Datastores and Datacenters) with different icons that identify them and the Pandora FMS agents state that represents each element. Besides the relationship that exists between the virtual machines, ESX and the Datacenter is shown.
Therefore, the state of the VMware architecture can be easily checked at a glance.This extension comes with some options which might help you to improve the architecture display by allowing you to hide elements, enlarge character size and zoom in and out:By using the previous options,only Datacenter and ESX are shown.1.2.12.2 VMware View Dashboards (5.0 or higher)For Pandora FMS 5.0 or higher versions, VMware View extension comes with two additional map views of the virtual architecture topology. These two additional tabs allow you to switch between different views of the VMware View Extension.The first view is a general dashboard where the general virtual architecture can be seen in numbers at a glance, e.g. How many virtual machines there are or how many Data Stores or ESXi hosts might have a problem. There are also graphs which will show the virtual machines which have the highest memory, CPU, disk and network consumption of the entire virtual architecture. You are also able to easily check for general performance parameters at a glance.The second view allows you to check the performance parameters of each ESX host. Using this view, you may choose e.g.
An ESX host for which a dashboard with the status of the host and virtual machines, metrics related to the usage of CPU, memory, disk and network ESXi host will be displayed. If the monitoring has been set using RENAME, this feature will not work with renamed targets.1.2.13 Plugin ConfigurationUse this section data to configure manually the plugin.The VMware plugin detects all entities and adds standard checks by default. Monitoring can be set up and the variables to monitor can be chosen by using the configuration file.The configuration file contains all the information needed for monitoring, grouped in the following sections: Configuration, Rename, Reject, Datacenter, Datastore, ESX and VM. Subsequently, each section explains its possible configuration. All errors related to the configuration file are explained in the Error Log Server and in the Event Viewer of Pandora FMS.
You can locate any problems in the configuration file by checking these sources.1.2.13.1 Configuration File 1.2.13.1.1 Global ConfigurationThe general configuration is defined by the token named Configuration and contains the following parameters:. Server: The vCenter's IP. User: The vCenter's user.
Pass: The vCenter's password. Datacenter: The Data Center to monitor. Temporal: The temporary directory. Logfile: The log file's location.
entitieslist: The file location, containing the list of the monitored entities. transfermode: The transfer mode for XMLs. It can be 'tentacle' or 'local'.
Tentacle: It sends XMLs files to Pandora FMS Server by using the Tentacle protocol. Local: It copies files found in a local folder. The agent is required to be executed on the same machine on which the local folder is located.
tentacleip: The Pandora FMS Server IP to which the information is sent. tentacleport: The Pandora FMS server port to which the information is sent (default value is '41121').
tentacleopts: Some additional options for sending through Tentacle (default value is 'none'). localfolder: The destination directory to copy XMLs with local mode turned on. pandoraurl: Pandora FMS console's URL (e.g. 'apipass: Pandora FMS API password. apiuser: Pandora FMS Console user. apiuserpass: Pandora FMS Console's user password. retrysend: Activates (1) or deactivates (0).data files resend.
eventmode: The flag which enables event collecting mode. If it is set to '1', the event collecting mode is enabled. To use this feature in Discovery, add the desired configuration within Extra settings.Due to the size of the clients' VMware infrastructures, a general scan of all available entities in each run could trigger performance issues.To avoid this situation, the VMware monitoring plugin has the entity file ( entitieslist) where it stores the list of entities scanned in the first execution.As long as this file exists, the monitoring will be limited to the entities indicated in it.If you need a periodic scan of your VMware infrastructure, you can delete this file from time to time (e.g. Every hour) using the cron system.1.2.13.1.3 Entity renaming. To use this feature in Discovery, add the desired configuration within Extra settings.Entity renaming is done using the Rename token and allows entities discovered by the plugin to be renamed. By using this feature, the agents created in Pandora will appear with the new name assigned. The structure of this section is the following: TO A configuration example in this section could be the following:#Rename entitiesRenameDebian 11 TO Virtual Machine 1RedHat 12 TO Web serverESX Workstation TO Host Work Sales1.2.13.1.4 Entity Dismissal.
To use this feature in Discovery, add the desired configuration within Extra settings.The plugin allows you to dismiss entities by type or individually. Both options are explained below.The dismiss function uses the Reject token to dismiss entities.
In this section, you can dismiss entities according to their type, e.g. All virtual machines or all ESX hosts. The accepted values for this section are the following: alldatastore, alldatacenter, allesx and allvm.A configuration for this section (which would dismiss all the entities) would be like the one shown below:#Dismissed entitiesRejectalldatastorealldatacenterallesxallvmTo dismiss entities individually, delete the entity's file which was created by the plugin. The plugin creates a file on the location which is indicated by the entitieslist parameter (it is '/tmp/vmwareentitieslist.txt' by default). This plugin provides the content of this file at the moment of the first execution or creates a list with all the discovered entities (if it does not already exist). A good example of this file could be the one below:DatacenterarticaDatastoredatastore1datastore2ESX192.168.70.252VMPandora FMS 4.0.3Debian2Debian3Debian4Redhatdebian5Debian6Debian8Debian7Debian11Debian10Debian9NSMPandoravcentersuse11.2The configuration file is divided into several tokens: Datacenter, Datastore, ESX and VM, where the different entities are listed. Once the configuration file is created, the plugin will read the entities to monitor.
If you intend to dismiss a certain entity, delete it from the folder. For example, if you do not want to monitor the following entities: Debian2, datastore2, NSM, suse11.2 and 192.168.70.252, the configuration file must be like the one below:DatacenterarticaDatastoredatastore1ESXVMPandora FMS 4.0.3Debian3Debian4Redhatdebian5Debian6Debian8Debian7Debian11Debian10Debian9PandoravcenterThis feature allows you to distribute the monitoring load by limiting the number of monitored entities in every plugin execution. More load distribution methods are explained below:1.2.13.1.5 Monitoring configuration.
To use this feature in Discovery, add the desired configuration within Extra settingsThe next file sections configure the created modules for every type of entity. These sections use the Data Center, Data Store, ESX and VM sections. In these sections, you can enable and disable modules to be monitored.
The following example contains a configuration according to the modules that would be created for ESX and virtual machines.#ESX ModulesESXcpuUsagePercent disableddiskRead enableddiskWrite enabled#VM ModulesVMdiskReadLatency disableddiskWriteLatency disableddiskRate enabled.Every configuration line is a module. Although in the example above, all the modules are created with default values. You are able to configure the following values: 'Name', 'description' and 'limits' for 'warning' and 'critical' states. An example of this configuration type would be like the one below.#VM ModulesVMdiskReadLatency disableddiskWriteLatency disableddiskRate name = Disk Rate; desc = Lec Rate/Esc disk; limitswarn = 5 10; limitscrit = 0 4.The available options for module configuration are these:. disabled: The module will NOT be created. enabled: The module WILL be created (with values by default). name =; desc =; limitswarn; limitscrit: The module will be created along with the given name and description.
The module will define thresholds for 'maximum' and 'minimum' as well as for 'Critical' and 'Warning' states.Keep in mind that it is very important to respect the structure of the configuration file lines, and above all, making sure that the character; is attached to the name and description of the module. These two lines are NOT EQUIVALENT (see spaces before character;): diskRate name = Disk Rate; desc = Lec Rate/Esc Disk; limitswarn = 5 10; limitscrit = 0 4diskRate name = Disk Rate; desc = Lec Rate/Esc disk; limitswarn = 5 10; limitscrit = 0 4The modules are referenced by their short names or a simpler equivalent name to write it in the command line.
The short and full name mapping tables are explained in the next section.Let us analyze the configuration of the example above. The Disk Rate module which will be created along with the following values has been configured:. Name: Disk Rate. Description: Lec Rate/Esc disk.
Min Warning: 5. Max Warning: 10. Min Critical: 0. Max Critical: 4There are some modules which are dynamically generated, e.g.
The modules on disks or network interfaces. For these metrics, the plugin creates a module for each discovered element. These modules bear special names in Pandora FMS, e.g.:Disk Free 0Disk Free 1Disk Free 2.Since the name has a dynamic part in these cases, you can use the '%s' macro which will be replaced by the variable part of the module name. An example of dynamic module configuration would be the following:diskfree name = Disk (% s) free space; desc = Free space for disk; limitswarn = 0 0; limitscrit = 0 0In this case, the default module name is:Free Disk 0And will be renamed as:Disk (0) free spaceFrom version 5.0 onwards, text strings for the limits of 'Warning' and 'Critical' states of the modules can be set. In such cases, the configuration would look like this:powerState operation name = State; desc = VM operating state; limitswarn =.; limitscrit =.
poweredOff.Regular expressions can also be set to provide higher flexibility within the setting limits.1.2.13.1.6 Custom Performance Metrics. To use this feature in Discovery, add the desired configuration within Extra settingsIn this section it is possible to configure new modules for Performance Counters, Virtual Machines and ESX. To set a new performance module, use the following structure:customperformance type = mem; metric = swapinRate; moduletype = genericdata; name = Swap In Rate; desc = Swap In Rate for host; limitswarn = 0 0; limitscrit = 0 0The parameters to set are the following:. Type: Type of metrics to monitor.
The types of metrics are:. Cpu: CPU.
Mem: Memory. Disk: Disk. Net: Network. Sys: System.
Metric: The metric to monitor (explained later where to view available metrics). Moduletype: Pandora FMS module type (e.g.
![]()
'genericdata'). Name: Module name. Desc: Module description. Limitswarn: 'Warning' state limits. Limitscrit: 'Critical' state limits.You can check the available metrics for each type in the Performance section of each entity.
This view shows performance metrics which can be monitored by the VMware plugin, which is located in vCenter. E.g.: The image below shows the Performance View for an ESX host.To see a complete list of all the metrics sorted by type, click on the Advanced button and then on the Char option button.
A window which contains a list of all metric types and their respective metrics will be displayed like the ones on the picture below:For each metric type, a number of counters will appear. They represent the variables that can be monitored with Pandora FMS.
To monitor a variable, use its internal Name. In addition, make sure that the statistics level which is configured in vCenter shows the variable you seek by comparing the variable with the metric Collection Level.For example, if you wish to see the CPU usage of an ESX host, search for CPU-type variables for an ESX and select Utilization. To monitor an operating system installed on a virtual machine, it is recommended to use a Pandora FMS Agent instead of the RHEV API.1.3.2.1 Internal operation of the pluginRHEV Monitoring Plugin retrieves information through the web API of RHEV virtualization environments.If you just want to monitor, configure the software agent plugin which performs this task.The agent plugin performs the device's auto discovery and creates an XML file along with modules for each discovered device. The plugin configuration allows you to select which elements you want to monitor and to configure the modules. The modules created by the plugin are completely configurable. You are also able to change names and descriptions and add 'max' and 'min' values for 'Warning' and 'Critical' module states. Updating values for 'Warning' and 'Critical' states using XML is only available for Pandora FMS 4.0 or higher versions.
In earlier versions, perform this task by using the web console.Once the XML files are created, the agent plugin sends the files - either by using Tentacle or by copying them to local files, depending on the selected transfer method.If you also intend to use the RHEV Viewer and RHEV Manager extensions, use the Recon Script to do so.The Recon Script updates several values of each Pandora FMS Agent present in the RHEV virtualization environment. These variables are required to view entities properly in the RHEV View extension and to manage virtual machines properly through the RHEV Manager extension.1.3.3 Installation RequirementsThe agent plugin requires the following software:. curl. perl-XML-Simple. Pandora FMS Software Agent.
![]()
tentacleclient (if you want to use tentacle to send files. The 'RHEV View' and 'RHEV Manager' extensions only work together with Pandora FMS 4.0.2 or higher versions.1.3.9.1 Recon Task InstallationThere is the possibility of creating custom recon tasks thanks to the.1.3.9.2 Installation of RHEV View and RHEV Manager ExtensionsTo install these extensions, copy the content of the extensions folder to the extensions folder of the Enterprise section of Pandora FMS Console which will appear after the decompression of the plugin. The command to perform these actions is shown below:cp -R extensions/.
/enterprise/extensions/From now on, you heve the RHEV monitoring extensions available.1.3.9.3 Using the RHEV View ExtensionTo use the RHEV View extension, click on Monitoring and RHEV View.The extension will open a map, showing all components of the RHEV architecture which gets discovered by the plugin.The different elements of RHEV architecture (e.g. Data Centers, Storage Domains, Clusters, Networks, Hosts and Virtual Machines) will appear on the map. Each element is represented by a different icon for each kind of architecture. The relationship between icons show the relationship between the RHEV architecture elements. The RHEV Manager Extension uses the curl' command. The installation of this command is required and has to be accessible to the Web Server on which the Pandora FMS Console is installed on.To access the extension, click on the icon that is represented by the RedHat logo in the agent's tab bar.The extensions allow you to manage the virtual machine ('switch on/off' and 'suspend') without being forced to use RHEV Management Console.
The extension shows the current status of the virtual machine by a color code ('green' = powered on, 'orange' = suspended and 'grey' = powered off), and a combo containing the available states. Change them by clicking on the Change Status button.If you click the Stop status to stop a virtual machine, the extension will contact the RHEV API and send the command. The result will be a change in the virtual machine status and the combo options, as you can see in the picture below:The change between some states consists of several steps, e.g. Changing from Stop to Start. In this case, the extension will show the virtual machine status for each step. To change e.g.
From 'Stop' to 'Start', the virtual machine crosses the states shown below:1.3.10 Agent Plug-in ConfigurationThe agent's plugin configuration is carried out through a configuration file called 'rhev-plugin.conf' by default.The agent's plugin selects all entities and creates all modules along with default values for name and description by default. All these parameters can be customized by changing the configuration file.1.3.10.1 Configuration FileThe configuration file has two different areas: The global variables and monitoring configuration variables.The global variables section begins on the token named Configuration and contains the information about the plugin configuration. The parameters allowed in this section are the following:. modulename: The name of the reported module on the agent which executes the plug in. server: The host name which runs the RHEV API. user: The user to connect to the API (the syntax is ').
pass: The password to connect to the API. cert: The path to the API's certificate. temporal: The path to the temporal folder.
logfile: The name of the log file. transfermode: The transfer mode (can take the 'local' or 'tentacle' values). tentacleip: The tentacle server's IP to send information.
Normally it is installed on the same machine the Pandora FMS Server is installed on. This option is only available if you use 'tentacle' under 'transfermode'. tentacleport: The Tentacle server port. This option is only available if you use 'tentacle' under 'transfermode'. tentacleopts: These are extra options for the Tentacle server. This option is only available if you use 'tentacle' under 'transfermode'.The monitoring configuration section comes with several subsections. The first one contains the token named Reject and allows you to create a list that contains the names of the entities of the virtualization environment which will get rejected.
To reject an entity, enter the name on the list as shown below:#Dismissed entitiesRejectmv1mvWindowsXPmvWebServer1.It is possible to discard all entities of the same type, e. All hosts, all virtual machines, etc. The tokens for each entity are: alldc (Data Center), allhost (Hosts), allnetwork (Networks), allstorage (Storage Domain), allcluster (Cluster), allvm (Virtual Machines). An example of using these tokens would be:#Dismissed entitiesRejectalldcallhostallnetworkallstorageallclusterallvmThe second section is defined by the token named Rename and allows to change entity names. This feature is very useful if you wish to combine software agent and API information on the same agent. The configuration for this section is carried out by mentioning the old name followed by the new one and a space character between them as shown below.#Rename entitiesRenamemvWebServer1 WebServer1mvWindowsXP WindowsXP Test.The following subsections are related to the entity's monitoring configuration. Each entity has its own token named DataCenter', StorageDomain, Network, Cluster, Host and VM.
For each entity, it is possible to define whether the modules are disabled or enabled and to provide max. Values for the Warning and Critical states:#VM ModulesVMstatus disablederrorstotaltx name = TX Error Net %s; desc = Total error TX net; limits = 60 70 71 100memoryused name = Used Mem; desc = Memory used by the virtual machine; limits = 256 1024 1025 2048.Each line is associated to a monitoring module. There are two options:. disabled: The module will -not- be created. name =; desc =; limits =: The module will be created with a specified name and description. It will also contain the thresholds for min. Values and for 'Warning' and 'Critical' states.It is very important to pay special attention to the configuration file's line structure and syntax, especially to the character.
It is located right by the module's name and its description. The command line examples which are shown below are NOT THE SAME. Please take a good look at the blanks near the;:errorstotaltx name = TX Error Net %s; desc = Total error TX net; limits = 60 70 71 100 (RIGHT)errorstotaltx name = TX Error Net %s; desc = Total error TX net; limits = 60 70 71 100 (WRONG!)The modules are referenced by their short names, and a name is easier to write on the command line.
A table that explains how to link full names and short names is located in the next section.This is an example of the configuration of virtual machines:To monitor virtual machines as a list of enabled or disabled modules was defined inside the configuration file in the VM section. The 'status' module is disabled and the modules named 'errorstotaltx' and 'memoryused' contain custom values. The rest of the modules which do not show up on the list, are created along with a set of default values for them. Through this configuration, the module named 'memoryused' gets the following values:. Name: The used memory. Description: The memory used by the virtual machine.
Min Warning: 256. Max Warning: 1024. Min Critical: 1025. Max Critical: 2048The modules are generated dynamically, e.g. Modules related to disks or network interfaces, which create one module for each detected item, have a special syntax for the module's name:errorstotaltx name = Errores TX Net %s; desc = Errores totales TX de red; limits = 60 70 71 100In this case, the name has a dynamic part which allows you to use the macro%s which will be replaced with the dynamic part of the module's name by the plugin.The module named errorstotaltx e.g. Has this default name:Nic nic1 errors TXThrough this configuration, the name will be:TX Error Net nic1Where 'nic1' is the dynamic part of the module's name.
All errors related to the configuration file are shown in the log file. They are also sent as an asynchronous module to Pandora FMS which appears in the agent which executes the plug in.In addition to the section related to each element, the configuration file has a common section for the events. This section is defined by the token named 'EventCodes' and all event codes to monitor will be listed inside it:EventCodes9956If you do not define this section, the event monitoring will -not- be executed.1.3.10.2 Sharing Monitoring Load between several Software AgentsThrough the configuration file, it is possible to share the monitoring load of RHEV Virtualization Environments between several Software Agents.To do that, distribute the monitored entities between the agents. In this example, there is this architecture:DC1 - Cluster 1.1 - c1.1mv1 - c1.1mv2 - c1.1mv3 - Cluster 1.2 - c1.2mv1 - c1.2mv2 - c1.2mv3DC2 - Cluster 2.1 - c2.1mv1 - c2.1mv2 - c2.1mv3 - Cluster 2.2 - c2.2mv1 - c2.2mv2 - c2.2mv3One possibility to share the load could be assigning one Data Center to each agent. To do so the feature to reject entities named 'Reject' is used.The first agent only monitors the Data Center called 'DC1' and rejects the entities in Data Center 2 which is called 'DC2':RejectDC2Cluster 2.1Cluster 2.2c2.1mv1c2.1mv2c2.1mv3c2.2mv1c2.2mv2c2.2mv3The second Software Agent monitors the 'DC2' data center and rejects the 'DC1' data center:RejectDC1Cluster 1.1Cluster 1.2c1.1mv1c1.1mv2c1.1mv3c1.2mv1c1.2mv2c1.2mv3It is also possible to split the load based on clusters.
