Hello,

I keep getting the following message when I run a health check
Running : health_checks system_checks default_password_check

[==================================================] 100%
/health_checks/system_checks/default_password_check [ INFO ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Detailed information for default_password_check:
Node 1.2.3.4
INFO: One or more hosts are using the default password
Refer to KB 6153 (http://portal.nutanix.com/kb/6153) for details on default_password_check or Recheck with: ncc health_checks system_checks default_password_check

Plugin output written to /home/nutanix/data/logs/ncc-output-latest.log


When I check the node with the IP listed I cannot find any user account with the default password set. Admin is not default neither is the Nutanix user. I cannot figure out what is triggering this health alert.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Few Things to Note here:
*This is INFO message which appears when default password "nutanix/4u" is being used for nutanix user
*As @diegodco mentioned please refer to KB Default_pwd_check for more info
*Always run latest release of NCC to verify cluster status,when writing this answer NCC latest build is 3.8.0.1
