So, scanning of hosts stopped on 10/27, I can manually force scan. Monitoring switch on plugin was turned off and alerting was not working. Alerts now show like this as well.

VMware ESXi Health Monitor
CIM - P4A ESX Health Monitor FAILED on Client\Server at Main office for 12 result 0.

Version 5.0.0.4 was released on 6/14/2022 so I do not think an auto update caused this issue. It's possible that a Automate update may have interrupted automation.

You can see what the automation is doing via the server logs on host.

Inside logs you should see the following..

"Send probe command to agentID 33" = Automate has scheduled the VMWare ESX Health script to run on agent ID 33. You can now look at agent 33's script logs to see what was returned to Automate.

If this log stops or does not show active script scheduling then a reboot of the host maybe in order.


Send us the logs and script logs of agent in question and we can look it over for you.

Can you send us a example of what the alarm use to look like? That is a bit cryptic and should have host info and agent/ client info. This reporting has not changed code in any of the current releases. So this was unlikely to have changed recently in the plugin.

Never mind, I fixed it. Had to build new alert template. Old one was not wanting to work.
