Is there any script / plugin for vCheck for NSX components?

[thompsoa]

Hi all,

I've managed to install NSX Module and play around with power-cli. I'm looking for a Report to be integrated with vCheck. Do you know any?

Thanks in advance!

There is no "official" vCheck plugin or script extension for NSX. I have done some searching around, and have not found anything that fits that kind of bill. I am checking with the creator of vCheck internally to see if maybe he knows of anything. I'll update when I get a response.

Hi Tim,

Did you have any response from the creator of vCheck?

Thanks!!

Alicia,

Yes! I have good news, and bad news. The good news is that they are totally on-board with an NSX extension to the vCheck. Bad news is, the Git repo was JUST created, and work has just begun to come together. It may be a bit, but keep an eye out for it! The creator of vCheck, and the master behind PowerNSX are on board to get things moving. Can you provide any specific things you would want to see on such a script? I'll make sure it goes into the request bin. Thanks for your idea, and the input!

Hi Tim,

It will be a good idea to check some settings like:

Check "startup" config of NSX controllers

Check anti-affinity rules enabled for nsx components

List Logical Switches per Transport Zone

Check Edge /LS / NSX Controllers status and report if there is any problem

Check port groups policy is consistent for every VDS used by NSX

Report IP Pools running out of free IP's

Confirm NTP configuration is ok for NSX components and it's working

Check if password  it's close to expire

List Major /Critical/High severity NSX Manager logs

Report Major /Critical Edge Events

Hope it helps!!

Thanks so much
