Yeap that's the one,  And URL worked for me. I am able to place in my VMware ID and get access to all 3 SDK packages (Windows and Linux)

Got it, thanks.

I'm guessing this is the SDK needed - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/

At this time it seems to be broken, though.  Anyone else trying this out?

Just FYI,

During my last edit I placed a typo on line 107,    "host_name.esxhost"  should be "$host_name.esxhost"

I am correcting that in the zip on website now...

It does,  same prereqs apply, must have VMware SDK installed and CURL available.

Any chance we will see this work on *nix?

Fellow XYmoners,

Here is my RC1 of a VMWare ESX vShpere Hardware health monitoring script for XYmon that can be used on any remote network to send data back to your XYmon display. I tie in to the CIM data produced by the hardware  so you can get any notice of failures to the ESX hosts hardware.

This is a bit different from the ESXi script that provides VM level health and stats.

You get:
FAN,CPU failure, MEMORY Module Errors, RAID, Drive and Controller errors, Power supply failures and lost redundancy and so on.
