  Hello Stefan,

  There is an existing extension that accomplishes what you want and it can be found at http://communities.quest.com/docs/DOC-5658 - I have not implemented this myself, but I've heard other users that it works very well. Let us know if this is consistent with what you are looking for, and we would be happy to help you with questions of integration.

• ESXi monitoring material 5

  Hello

  I would like to watch my 5 ESXi hardware. That's why I need to get information through WBEM as SNMP is no longer supported.

  How what can be done with vFoglight (6,6)?

  I did some research on google and watched through the discussions on this community and was not able to find something useful.

  Thank you

  Daniel

  I've been plugging away on it these last time and made progress on the IPMI/CIM data.  I would really like to remove vcenter directly, but their API turns out be quite a pain in the way that they meet each provider.  In the end, I'll probably write a custom agent who gets what I need directly from each host periodically from each host directly.  In the end, I think whether or not it will work better since I can then use it to any host running VMware.

• Alerts on ESXi monitoring

  Hello

  Used stand-alone ESXi for some of our test without vCentre environments and I'm trying to see if there is anyway we can configure alerts for the ESXi server as those in vCentre.

  But since our ESXi does not use vCentre we don't have these predefined, alert rules does anyone have suggestions or advice on the utilities or free tools that we can do. We want to do is just keep and eye on things like host CPU and RAM use disk and send alerts after reaching a certain threshold.

  Cheerss

  Lamw member communities has produced an excellent script, Perl.

  http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-9842

  I have this custom a bit to ensure surveillance of the material just for guests unmanaged of ESXi by running a scheduled daily task and sends an e-mail if alerts are detected.  It happens that spurred on a disk failure a couple of days, which otherwise has gone unnoticed for weeks.

  I'll put some info about this on my blog next week (as well as some scripts to automate the operations of vm on unmanaged hosts).

• Using the cmdlet Get-stats for the problems of performance of ESXi

  I need to detect the bottlenecks (if any) causing poor performance with a (free) 5.5 ESXi host.

  I see that if I use the cmdlet Get - stat PowerCLI I get dozens of meters, such as "mem.usage.average" or "'rescpu.maxlimited1.latest ', just to give two samples. "

  Can I identify a subset of the counters I should follow to identify possible bottlenecks in the fastest way possible?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Everything depends of course.

  There are several positions which list a number of key counters to watch.

• VROPS 6.0-5.1 ESXi crossing

  Ok.  I get conflicting information.  For vROPS 6.0 release notes say it must support 5.1 ESXi monitoring hosts, but the matrix product Intercompatiblity said anything other than 5.5 is only supported.

  It seems that even if I did have any warning during migration than 5.5 is only supported as no other host saves the data.  Is this true?  Or am I missing something?

  Can anyone confirm that they monitor with vROPS 6.0 5.1 ESXi hosts?  If so, no matter what special config on the side of the vROPS?  Or I'm crazy to think it should work?

  I can confirm that we vROPS 6.0 running and monitoring 5.1 ESXi hosts Yes.

  We also monitor a 3.5 host esx on a vCenter 4.1. Collecting metrics very well... Probably not taken in charge, but that market...

• How to connect the use of VM resources?

  I need to log in for each virtual machine on my host ESXi 4.1 use of resources (CPU, memory, net). Is it possible using SNMP/CIM/than any other? I have read all day and have not yet found anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  How long do you store data for?  Veeam Monitor free can do 7 days - http://www.veeam.com/esxi-monitoring-free.html. You can use the vCLI resxtop to save data or something like that might be an option - http://www.thelazysysadmin.net/2009/04/monitoring-vmwares-free-esxi-35-with-cacti/

• Accounting machine VM?

  Nice day

  As a newest ESXi user, I'm looking for a way to make a few guests of computer virtual management.  I don't know if there is a nicely integrated, or a path recommended to follow some of the following machine much of time (days, months, etc.).

  network IO

  CPU used

  disk i/o

  % of disc

  and so on.  I don't have a vSphere, just the basic version free of the hypervisor.  I am running two small linux (ubuntu 10.04 LTS) machines and two small instances of Windows XP.

  I find very nice unwearable devices!

  Thanks in advance for any URLS or pointers that come to mind - thank you for your advice.

  It is a nice tool. http://www.Veeam.com/ESXi-monitoring-free.html you will need to run a report on a daily basis to collect the information because the hypervisor does not store more than 24 hours.

• Analysis of VMware tools

  What are the best free tools available for monitoring VMware? I am also looking wide monitoring tools which are also expensive.

  Thank you

  the best free tool to monitor is Veeam Monitor Free edition ( http://www.veeam.com/esxi-monitoring-free.html)

  If you have the budget, Veeam Monitor (http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esx-monitoring.html) did a good job

  the other options are:

  Vizioncore vFoglight ( http://www.vizioncore.com/products/vFoglight/)

  eg VM Monitor (http://www.eginnovations.com/web/vmware.htm)

  vKernel capacity Analyzer (http://www.vkernel.com/products/CapacityAnalyzer/)

  of course, you can't miss VMware AppSpeed (http://www.vmware.com/products/vcenter-appspeed/) and VMware vCenter (http://www.vmware.com/products/vcenter-server/index.html) who do a wonderful job in the follow-up and resolution of performance problems

  and the hardware companies (HP, DELL, IBM, etc.) have very good tools that integrate very well with VMware

  I hope that gives you a good idea

• I have ESX 3.5 I have and I'm trying to understand alerts

  I have ESX 3.5i "free" current runtime version on a Dell 2950

  I'm trying to figure out how to get the ting to send me an alert if it detects something wrong with the hardware or software.  I can look at the State of health of material but can't do the thing to send me an alert if a disk fails or something.

  I read the help but he quickly enough blurry and I don't know if my version supports this feature without buying an upgrade.

  Take a look at this - http://www.veeam.com/esxi-monitoring-free.html.

• What is a good set of keywords to use to monitor the syslogs ESXi?

  Hello

  I will put up my 4.1u1 ESXi servers to transfer the logs to a centralized syslog.

  If we want to monitor the syslog for questions, which will have a good value of key words, that we can use?

  Thanks in advance

  "timeout", "failed".

• Datastore on ESXi 4.1 disk space monitoring

  Hi all

  I use HP SiteScope to monitor our data warehouses.  I use a simple script monitor to bounce back against our servers ESX 4.0 who runs the command of vdf to return the size used, available and percentage used.  When I call the script I pass data with her store name.  This is the content of the script.

  sudo/usr/sbin/vdf /vmfs/volumes/$1

  This returns the following:

  1 k-blocks used available use % mounted on file system

  / vmfs/volumes/4c14635a-8d723b1c-031c-0844324ssa05f3

  419168256 117296128 301872128/vmfs/volumes/MY_DATASTORE 27%

  Then, I am able to use these measures to make reports and alerts if a certain data store is full.  This is a Lab Manager environment development so sometimes people accidentally create too many virtual machines and their warehouses of data to run out of disk space.  Where the reason why we need oversight from a perspective of data store.

  Now enter ESXi 4.1.  The command vdf no longer accepts the name of store data as an additional argument.  I tried a number of different things but do not seem to find the right solution.

  So basically I just need the same measures and be able to run for each of my stores of data.  Does anyone know a different way to this collection through the command line?

  Thanks in advance.

  Billy

  with ls - lh mutual data store name, you can

  and you can see with df h size.

  but I believe that the best solutions is witch with VMA command line.

• Monitor a server HP ESXi 4 u1

  OK, I know that this topic was a million times, but after reading through those millions of messages - I don't see an answer.

  I have a HP DL380 G4 running ESXi 4 u1 and ten VMs virtual development perfectly.  I would like to monitor this server through our HP SIM 6 Server, but I don't know how.  I read on the filling of the WBEM credentials on the side of the SIM card, what I've done.  I retrieve useful but limited information about the material.

  I saw a download on the HP site for "HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi 4.0 Update 1.

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 15351 & prodSeriesId = 3884082 & prodNameId = 3884083 & swEnvOID = 4040 & swLang = 13 & mode = 2 & taskId = 135 & swItem = MTX-07332f4bc3544ecd901f5019a3

  I guess (no jokes please) that would give me more details on the server running ESXi.  But many positions at HP say that there are NO agents for ESX/HPSIM and just use WBEM.

  Can someone help me here please.  I want to get as much information that can be done on the HP hardware I run ESXi.

  As usual, thanks for all your time.

• Monitoring ESXi 4 via SNMP

  We have a network and a monitoring program device that now takes in charge "ESX".  However, we would like to try and see if we can use it to monitor the ESXi.  We currently have vSphere Enterprise with ESXi and vCenter installed.

  Is there a way taken in charge to monitor the ESXi hosts and customers using SNMP?  We point the SNMP monitor at each host, or just for the vCenter Server?  If possible, how to define the community string, etc.

  Thank you!
