How to Monitor VMware ESX Server and StorageUnits

[James Pratt]

hi, you mention you are using HP's management agents on ESX - if so,
check out these SNMP plugins to replace check_snmp - 

http://nagios.manubulon.com/

I'm not sure if you can get any SMART drive status from snmpd/HP, but
you can check RAID status on local disks, and there are also ways to
check ESX datastore free space usage too.

good luck & cheers,
James

Have a look at the check_esx.pl plugin. You can do quite a bit with it.

gin

It just requires the VMware Perl SDK kit to be installed on the machine
you want to connect from, in this instance, Nagios.

Max
