<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hello all,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I have a lot of host servers as VM’s on our ESXi infrastructure, managed with vCenter. We also use vSphere DRS to help keep the load on host systems balanced. Due to the DRS, our VM’s can sometimes move around from
being on one host to being on another w/o my knowledge beforehand. Does anyone know if there is any sort of plugin available for Nagios Core that would basically talk to my vCenter system and find out what VM’s are on which hosts, and automatically update
that VM’s Parent directive in the host definition?</span></p>
