I used to use bb-esx, which I had modified and renamed xymon-esx. Upgrading to ESXi 6.x broke it, if I remember correctly.
I ended up using devmon with connecting to the ESXi server. That gives me interface stats and states of the VMs (power, location, OS, and status). And IPMI connecting to the ILO of the hardware, providing disk, temperature, fan, power supply.
And a custom script that looks at the hardware raid.

I'd be interested in that as well. I abandoned those particular tests a while ago because they didn't give much info.

It's now 2018. What are y'all monitoring, and how are ya' doing it?
