Hello all,
Has someone use the VI Perl Toolkit from vmware VI Perl Toolkit Programming Guide<http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl16/doc/viperl_proggd.pdf>to monitor the esxi ? ESX i ( the free version) don't have a console so we can't run the xymon client. I'm trying to convert a nagios esx script version http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios/op5plugins.git;a=blob_plain;f=check_esx3.pl... . But if someone have already done it or have a better idea could save me some time and of other friends too.
Thanks in advance,
Mario.

Possible, but as I understand from our ESX guys you cannot install any kind of 3rd-party software on the ESX host without voiding your support agreement.
In fact, ESX servers is one of the targets for my SNMP-based monitoring tool right now.
This is an interesting "warning"... If I am ever on the phone to VMWare Support, I will make sure to "forget" the Hobbit client is running!
I am currently running the Hobbit client on 7 ESX 3.01 boxes, without any problems. I compiled the client on another server, then merely unzipped it on ESX, and adjusted the startup script. I also made a custom test that runs esxtop and parses the output to determine the "real" CPU load.
