This is probably off topic, but maybe not. We are implementing vmWare ESX and VI in our production environment. Since the host servers are rather well protected, having agents to talk with them directly would probably be really nifty. I know that ESX runs on a proprietary Linux core, so a Linux agent might be the trick. I have zero info on how to monitor it though.
Has anyone else experience in monitoring vmWare stuff? Michael D.

The first dev has been done on the Win32. The next agent that we want to create is on another OS, probably some kind of *NIX variant. But we do have some questions about it, and that's were you can help me :-) * for what OS should we create an agent (and that you would use :-)) * what kind of checks should that agent do What would you see as a acceptable price for the usage of an agent. (to be more correct, the agents as such would be free of charge, it's using them within SA that would have a cost. The standard edition of SA will not be able to use the agents, the enterprise edition will be able to use the agents. A "normal" enterprise license will be able to access 2 remote agents (whatever OS they run), if you want to access more then 2 remote agents, then you will have to add "licenses" to SA for it. It's about that type of license cost that I'm seeking some feedback). Dirk Bulinckx.
