NullPointerException #37

sysHate · 2016-09-28T15:11:45Z

Hi.
vmbix was running good for ~1 month. Now are mostly Items unsupported & vmbix.log is full of NPE Errors:

Exception in thread "Thread-405" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at net.dav3860.VmBix$Connection.getManagedEntityByUuid(VmBix.java:1204)
        at net.dav3860.VmBix$Connection.getManagedEntity(VmBix.java:1113)

        at net.dav3860.VmBix$Connection.run(VmBix.java:3415)

There is allso a Problem with object script.

Then i have to break a script because nothing is happening.

Do you have any idea, where i have to look?
Thank you!
Regards!

Hi,
What version do you use ? Please upgrade to the latest version, the error handling was improved.

sysHate · 2016-09-29T11:16:31Z

I installed vmbix_2.4.0.80-1_amd64.deb on zabbix_proxy 3.0.3
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
I tryed vmbix 2.5 out, thats what i became while testing:

vmbix -P 12050 -u "user@domain" -p "psw" -s "https://vcenter2/sdk"
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

dav3860 · 2016-09-29T15:43:19Z

It may be a connection error to the vcenter. Please upgrade to v2.5, the error handling was improved. Have a look at the CHANGELOG as a few things changed.

dav3860 · 2016-09-29T15:44:20Z

There is a bug when you start VmBix 2.5 in CLI but it works with a config file. It will be fixed in v2.6. Or I can give you the fixed development package.

I'll check the connection now.
Thank you a lot!

dav3860 · 2016-10-01T12:07:58Z

There is an error in the default configuration file. The read and connect timeouts must be set in ms. So update their values to 30000.

I deleted all Hosts and runed vmbix-object-sync script again. Now it seems to work for ESX & Datastores but not vor VM's

dav3860 · 2016-10-06T10:05:27Z

Is the parameter useUUID set to true in the configuration file ? I fixed your former issues with the new version 2.6. You can download it.
Can you use zabbix_get to query a few VMs and see if it works ?

sysHate · 2016-10-07T12:32:59Z

Yes, useUUID is set to true.
event.latest[] and vm.discovery[] do works, datastore checks to:

zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -p 12050 -k 'datastore.size[50c05703-90916ee4-e8e5-441ea15267c8,free]'
85033222144

But if i'm asking about specific VM:

zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -p 12050 -k 'vm.guest.os[422dfb39-a8cb-78e6-6e77-9020a04a3465]'
zabbix_get [30248]: Check access restrictions in Zabbix agent configuration

dav3860 · 2016-10-08T09:34:31Z

These kinds of checks only work if the VM is running VM tools. Is it the same for the vm.status method ? What version of vcenter do you have ?

sysHate · 2016-10-10T13:41:45Z

Yes, its the same for vm.status. I tried on machine with updated VM tools running. We have Vcenter 6.0.0 installed (Build 3634793).

dav3860 · 2016-10-11T07:25:52Z

Please try the version I just compiled, v2.6.157 : https://bintray.com/dav3860/generic/vmbix#files/2.6
The log messages should me more verbose.

sysHate · 2016-10-13T13:39:10Z

After i changed useUUID to false it works fine with servernames. Unfortunately we do have many Hosts with names Zabbix doesn't accept.
And there is one more strange thing (its still useruuid = false):

zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -p 12050 -k 'vm.status[422d7658-128a-ddeb-b22a-ca8ebe80178e]'
4

So i get an false answer. Here is a log file:

15:49:06.982 [Thread-48] DEBUG net.dav3860.VmBix - Thread created, collecting data in 1 threads
15:49:06.982 [Thread-48] DEBUG net.dav3860.VmBix - Parsing this request : ZBXD0vm.status[422d7658-128a-ddeb-b22a-ca8ebe80178e]

Any ideas?
