10 years ago Hi,
sorry - but you are completely wrong. The status is the returncode of the script. You can check as with every commandline program wicht echo $?: 0 = ok/up 1 = warning 2 = critical/down CHECK_ESX3 OK is only part of the text string. So displaying the name of the plugin makes no sense. It only wastes space on the display. And for the overview window you should waste as less as possible. Look at most of your other checks. None (or nearly none) will display the name of the plugin. It's the same with OK. It's only a text string and not needed because ok should be the default a check has. Most plugins won't display ok, but for better readability (and for the messages sent which are conatining the string) warning and critical is displayed as part of the message text.
So when testing from the commandline check the return code of the plugin with echo $? . Greeting from Munich Martin

Hi When I try to get any Status on any of the checks vom the check_vmware_esx i dont get a status back. the old plug in got a status which i could use in my nagios3 to get a status...
example: old: check_esx3 -H 111.111.111.111 - u user - p password -l cpu - s usage - w 80 -c 90 CHECK_ESX3 OK - cpu usage =0.75 % | cpu_usage=0.75%;80;90
new: check_vmware_esx.pl -H 111.111.111.111 - u user - password -S cpu -s usage -w 80 -c 90 CPU usage=0.74%|'cpu_usage'=0.74%;80;90;;
so in my opinion the Status is missing.... using the latest Version of the scrypt. Ubuntu 12.04 - CLI 5.5 - Perl 5.14.2 - libwww-perl-5.837
