all,</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial", "sans-serif";">I
saw a couple of threads on this topic from January and was wondering if there
is any newer insight into this question. At that time, it appeared
that many were just installing a RedHat based version of the Xymon (hobbit)
client (with modifications to the df [vdf] and top [esxtop] commands) on
their ESX servers despite the warning that it may void your
support. I have started down the SNMP monitoring path and have
found that most of the fields listed in VM’s MIBs are not populated. So,
are people still running modified versions of the hobbit client without
issue? Has anyone made any real progress on monitoring ESX servers
via SNMP?</span></p>
