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...

Yeap that's the one, And URL worked for me. I am able to place in my VMware ID and get access to all 3 SDK packages (Windows and Linux)

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?

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)

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

And may you live long and prosper!
