Xymon monitoring of ESX servers

["White, Bruce" <bewhite (at) fellowes.com>]

Hi all,

 

I saw a couple of threads on this topic from January and was wondering
if there is any newer insight into this question.   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?

 

Thanks in advance,

Bruce
