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
