I have been playing with the ESX MIBs and I find the data almost
worthless. would very much like to see just what you are capturing from
the MIBs.

My experience as well. I wholeheartedly recommend Vmware's sdk: it's
free, it's supported and it really is the best way to do scripted
remote administration of esx.

Is this something that you are already working on?  I'd love to see 
if you have been able to tie this in to Xymon.

Here is the sdk:

And here is the Nagios plugin i wrote about earlier:

I've only used it with Nagios, but the structure of a Nagios plugin is 
very similar to a Xymon ext script and one can be trivially converted 
to the other.
