Hi guys! I’m trying to set up the vspheredb module, but there is almost no documentation about it (or I’m very bad at searching)
the module is up and running, I can add a vcenter or esx hosts and it can gather all the data , I defined monitoring rules and they also works flawlessly.
Setting up the monitoring integration, as I’m using icingadb, there was no IDO resource, so I activated the monitoring module, created an IDO resource and deactivated the monitoring module again, then I configured the monitoring integration on the vspheredb module and works great! (not very intuitive, but is working now)
I created the check commands and the services to actively monitor vsphere, esx hosts , vms, datastores, etc. everything works as expected, alarms are getting triggered, data is displayed correctly, but there is no way to get perfdata.
the data is been writed to the influxdb, but without perfdata

USAGE
icingacli vspheredb check datastore [--name <name>|--uuid <uuid>] [--ruleset <set>] [--rule [<ruleset>/]<rule>]
[root@monitoreo ~]# icingacli help vspheredb perf
Deprecated. The main daemon now provides this functionality
===========================================================
where? how? is there is anyway to get perfdata from this module? it’s a wonderful module, works pretty well, but without perfdata is pretty useless to me
