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?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Bruce<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=8a682ad5-db53-4d53-b443-e163fb55c798> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=8a682ad5-db53-4d53-b443-e163fb55c798> <strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Bruce White</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p><p class=8a682ad5-db53-4d53-b443-e163fb55c798><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'> Senior Enterprise Systems Engineer | Phone: 630-671-5169 | Fax: 630-893-1648 | bewhite@fellowes.com | <a href="http://www.fellowes.com/">www.fellowes.com</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=8a682ad5-db53-4d53-b443-e163fb55c798> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=8a682ad5-db53-4d53-b443-e163fb55c798><img border=0 width=514 height=42 id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CA86E1.5123E170"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=8a682ad5-db53-4d53-b443-e163fb55c798> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=8a682ad5-db53-4d53-b443-e163fb55c798><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'>Disclaimer: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
