Xymon client on ESX 3.5: goes purple after 30 minutes + disks not graphing

Hi.

I am only monitoring CPU, Mem and disk for the service console using the standard linux OID:s. We have not had the time to create any VM monitoring stuff, but we have the Xymon clients on all VM:s, so it has not been a high priority. 
I have also created a VMFS utilization template, that uses "exec" in snmpd.conf on the ESX host to run a script that uses vdf and parses the result. If you want, I can upload the script and template somewhere.

Hi Johan

I would be most interested to see your ESX Devmon templates.

I had this problem as well when I installed the Xymon client on one of our
ESX 4 servers. The client would only send one update, and then stop
working. If I restarted the client, the same thing happened again. I did not
put much work into finding out why, I went for SNMP monitoring using
devmon instead. But I think that there was some process missing, if I
compared it to a standard linux client, and I figured that had something to do
with it.
