Hi,<br><br>I did installed Xymon ESX agent on to the ESX, I just want to know the status of running VMs and its status.<br><br>Thanks for your assistance.<br>AM<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 6:56 PM, Vernon Everett <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:everett.vernon@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:everett.vernon@gmail.com">everett.vernon@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Also, remember, installing non-authorised packages into the service console could negate support contracts.<br>
<br>I was playing with using SNMP to monitor the rest of the host server at my previous contract, but never completed the job :-(<br><br>Getting a "complete view" of an ESX machine is not easy. We eventually settled for the client in each VM, and the service console.<br>
Not perfect, but acceptable.<br><br>Cheers<br><font color="#888888"> Vernon</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 8:26 PM, Ambati Srinivas <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:am.srini@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:am.srini@gmail.com">am.srini@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
