You get more reported back from check_esxi_hardware.py if the check detects any
error conditions.
I did a lot of work on this last year, see my blog post about it for example
output when things don't work:

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_openmanage and ESXi
All,
I don't know if anyone else already posted this, I just joined the mail list.
We have been using check_openmanage (brilliant piece of work!) to check the
hardware status of our Dell machines, lately we are moving from ESX 4 to ESXi 5
and found that the check_openmanage check could not help us with the monitoring
of ESXi 5 hardware, because check_openmanage needs OMSA for its checks. Today I
found a other plugin to check ESXi hardware, see
http://www.claudiokuenzler.com/nagios-plugins/check_esxi_hardware.php
There is one disadvantage to this plugin and that is that you always get the
same status details back with a OK. I don't know if it is possible but it would
be nice to have the checks from the check_esxi_hardware available in the
check_openmanage, only problem is one is written in Python the other in Perl...
I hope it helps and that maybe someone (Trond the author of check_openmanage?)
can create one check of this.
Met vriendelijke groet/with kind regards,
Arnold Hölzel
