Hi All,

Was hoping someone could help me or at least steer me in the right direction when monitoring "memory usage" on an esx server. I have searched the web and newgroups only to find people talking about using esxtop and changing the hobbitclient-linux.sh script, when monitoring load and CPU. Unfortunately when changing the startup script to use esxtop the memory monitor column fails.

I considered writing a basic script to monitor the memory (example below), but am not sure how I would create the graphs to trend the mem usage.
###################
#!/bin/sh

COLUMN=mem
COLOR=green

cat /proc/vmware/mem |grep "Machine memory free" > /tmp/meminfo.txt

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`
`cat /tmp/meminfo.txt`
"
exit 0
###################

Does anyone have any better ideas or are doing anything different that could help resolve this dilemma?

Thanks in advance,
Ryan
