Monitoring ESXi 6.x cpu, disk, memory, procs?
Does anyone have a simple example of how to monitor the usual client stuff on an ESXi host?
I was thinking it should be possible for the Xymon server to reach out via SSH, run some commands (esxcli?) and return the output. If the response is null or ssh connection failed, report red.
Another thought, /bin/python3.5 is available on ESXi - so perhaps there's a way to run and report the tests with python on the ESXi host itself as a cronjob?
My coding skills are still a work in progress so any examples of how to accomplish something like this would be helpful. The list archives reference a lot of old scripts and code for ESXi 4/5 which don't seem to work for ESXi 6.5+
Thanks,
Guy
