Fellow XYmoners,****

Here is my RC1 of a VMWare ESX vShpere Hardware health monitoring script for XYmon that can be used on any remote network to send data back to your XYmon display. I tie in to the CIM data produced by the hardware so you can get any notice of failures to the ESX hosts hardware.****

This is a bit different from the ESXi script that provides VM level health and stats.****

You get:****

FAN,CPU failure, MEMORY Module Errors, RAID, Drive and Controller errors, Power supply failures and lost redundancy and so on.****

Just FYI,

During my last edit I placed a typo on line 107, "host_name.esxhost" should be "$host_name.esxhost"

I am correcting that in the zip on website now...

Got it, thanks.

I'm guessing this is the SDK needed - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/

At this time it seems to be broken, though. Anyone else trying this out?

Got it via IE, may be a Chrome issue.

Is there an install guide for *nix? I see the Window jobs but I'm wondering if I just do the same stuff in Cron, like below?

*/5 * * * perl /foobar/getESXHostHealth.pl --server xymonserver.foobar.com--username root --password password

I'd run it out of tasks.cfg, or clientlaunch.cfg on a client. I'm trying to enforce the rule here that anything that talks to xymon, runs out of xymon. (except for some scripts that we have that are testing cron)
