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.
