VMware datastore monitor [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Hello All,
A couple of years ago, I downloaded a great VMware datastore monitor, from dell.com. I've just changed jobs and would like to download it again It seems that Dell have now blocked downloads. Does anyone have a copy of this script that they can email me?

Monitor datastore utilization on VMware ESXi 4.X and 5.X Monitor datastore utilization of VMware ESXi 4.X and 5.X via using the "Browse datastores on this host" page of ESXi's built-in HTTPS service. This eliminates the need to manage a plugin that uses VMware's labyrinthine RCLI or the vCenter alarm framework, both of which have problems. Simply add a list of hosts (and a login name/password) to the script and run it. This script connects directly to port 1984 instead of calling "bb" from the shell, so you can either run it as a plugin or run it standalone -- even on another host if you want to. This plugin is compatible with Big Brother and it is also compatible with Hobbit/Xymon. Its output simulates that of unix "df" closely enough that if you are running Hobbit/Xymon the utilization graphs will appear as expected. License: open source; GPL v3. Thanks, Martin.

I've searched and I haven't been able to find a copy of this one. :/ I seem to recall looking at it too a few years ago. I wish I could get to the point on the site where I could see the .zip file name, as that might help with finding it.
More broadly, it's a shame that a lot of this is -- paywalled? -- unavailable at the very least. Archive.org has some of it, but a larger collection of the deadcat.net, Quest-era, or Dell-era scripts would be useful. A little of it made it over to Hobbiton/Xymonton, but that seemed the SoT for most.

Has anyone tried the wayback machine?
The disappearance seems to be a result of the Big Brother => Quest => Dell aquisitions.

Even more annoying is that even if you sign up for their community, you still can't download anything. Maybe the script owner watches this list and could post to Xymonton...aka, long shot.
