RE: [hobbit] RE: hobbit monitoring on ESX servers

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

I have been using snmpwalk to look at data on active ESX clusters.  I
have coded nothing for Xymon, but once you get figured out what you want
via snmpwalk, adding the hooks for Xymon is a breeze.   Like I said in
my post, the issue is the data available on the ESX MIBs.   It is
incomplete, or inaccurate.



I am very interested in finding out what people have been doing with the
ESX SDK.

Is this something that you are already working on?  I'd love to see if
you have been able to tie this in to Xymon.
