[hobbit] ESX monitoring.

[Odinn]

Within the suite of VMWare tools and sudo.  To get true dfs info, had to use vmw-dfs (or was it esx-dfs, or something similar) to get disk space on vmfs LUNs and minor changes to one of the hobbit config files (don't remember off the top of my head since I don't have any hobbit or ESX running at home).

JIM,
 
Were your scripts SNMP based or something
within the VMWare suite of tools?

You'll need to write custom scripts for monitoring VMs.
 I wrote several scripts at my last company, but they let me go, so I no
longer have access to those scripts.

Hi,

I did installed Xymon ESX agent on to the ESX, I just want to know the status
of running VMs and its status.

Thanks for your assistance.

You can install the Red Hat binaries in the ESX service console, and
although it works, it still only gives a limited view. (Remember, the service
console is also a VM)
Also, remember, installing non-authorised packages into the service console
could negate support contracts.

I was playing with using SNMP to monitor the rest of the host server at my
previous contract, but never completed the job :-(

Getting a "complete view" of an ESX machine is not easy. We
eventually settled for the client in each VM, and the service console.
Not perfect, but acceptable.

Cheers
