We haven't actually used NRPE with our ESX servers, as it did not seem to be
necessary.

We have a Nagios plugin for monitoring ESX-related things (available on
nagiosexchange.org) that works via SNMP.

We use the SNMP agent for standard OS monitoring, including filesystem - ESX
is based on linux and so has a very functional SNMP agent indeed.

Individual guestOSs are monitored via NRPE or pNSclient directly.

Although I see no reason why NRPE should not work under ESX, I would
strongly advise you to keep things as clean as possible and just use SNMP.
