Has anybody had any success monitoring ESX hosts yet? In particular, I am looking for HBA and disk stats, CPU, memory, etc. The usual suspects.
I decided to use a "standard" Hobbit client running on the service console, then add my own customizations:
use vdf for disk space monitoring instead of df (picks up VMDK volumes)
use esxtop to get CPU usage for entire ESX box
Here is a snippet I wrote for parsing ESXTOP output:
my $esxtop = "sudo /usr/bin/esxtop -b -d $interval"; open(CMD,"$esxtop |") || die "error - could not open $esxtop $!\n"; my $count = 0; while( <CMD> ) { chomp; s/\"//g; my (@row) = split/\,/; $count++; if ( $count <= 2 ) { next; } # skip 1st few results, just titles and 100% values my $util = int($row[9]); # round to INT, because RRD does not like floating-point &SendHobbit($util); if ( $verbose ) { print "util = $util\n"; } }
I hope this helps, please don't flame my crappy code... Enjoy!
