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 - http://www.monitoringexchange.org/inventory/Check-Plugins/Hardware/Server-%2528Manufacturer%2529/Dell HP - http://www.monitoringexchange.org/inventory/Check-Plugins/Hardware/Server-%2528Manufacturer%2529/HP-%2528Compaq%2529 Hope this helps -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tomas Kucera Sent: 20 May 2010 14:29 To: Opsview Users Subject: Re: [opsview-users] ESX Vmware monitoring Hi, It seems to be scripts for ESX < 4 I have running esx4 snmp and these scripts absolutely doesn't work Raffaello Poltronieri - Eutelia SpA píše v Čt 06. 05. 2010 v 17:14 +0200: > Hi, > > I installed Ops 3.7 on a CentOS 5.4.
