Nagios monitor for VMware ESXi (free edition)

[dOE]

>From the VMware Infrastructure client under "Health Check" you ca see vital
hardware health statistics such as processor, memory, hard drives power
supplies, and fans.  The information is gathered by WBEM, and can be done
with HP SIM too.  The script is able to poll this information and return the
values of all of the hardware under one monitor.  That is good enough for me
because if a memory module goes bad the monitor will go red and prompt us to
investigate cause.  I am trying to do this with ESX*i* which does not
support SNMP, not ESX.
