Have you tried to monitor the ESX server using the WBEM services.

I have been able to do this on my ESXi servers 
(http://www.matthewjwhite.co.uk/blog/2010/02/09/monitoring-esxi-server-health-using-nagiosopsview/)
 and the checks for the hardware work as expected.

I don't see why it shouldn't work on full blown ESX servers.

Alternatively if they are Dell/HP servers you should be able to install Dell 
OpenManage or HP SMS on the Service Console of the server and monitor that with 
one of the appropriate checks for the hardware

Dell checks -

HP -

Hope this helps
