RE: [hobbit] ESX Hosts

[Olivier AUDRY <olivier (at) audry.fr>]

hello

it's not necessary to install the standart xymon client on the esx
servers. The information reported won't be usefull because you are going
to monitore service console not the "real" state of esx server. 

Perhaps for the fs but you have to change the xymon df command into vdf
to see the vmware fs.

I use the xymon client on esx service console to graph the number of vm
on an esx server. I cant follow the drs and see if he do his job like I
want.

I you have a way to monitore cpu la io memory of a esx cluster give us
your code :)

About snmp : it seems that the snmp mib change all time ... I have give
up this way.
