If you get an UNKNOWN error back from check_vmware_esx.pl plugin, there was something wrong with the previous session to the server and the session file needs to be deleted.
Can't kill a non-numeric process ID at /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_vmware_esx.pl line 1747.
In Icinga2 these session files can by default be found in /var/spool/icinga2/tmp:
# ls -la /var/spool/icinga2/tmp/ | grep session

Delete the files for the ESXi hosts which cause problems. This will force the plugin to create a new session file on the next run.
