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>

although it works, it still only gives a limited view. (Remember, the service
console is also a VM)<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>
