Got it via IE, may be a Chrome issue.

Is there an install guide for *nix?  I see the Window jobs but I'm
wondering if I just do the same stuff in Cron, like below?

*/5 * * * perl /foobar/getESXHostHealth.pl --server
xymonserver.foobar.com--username root --password password

Got it, thanks.****

I'm guessing this is the SDK needed -

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…****

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.****

http://www.squidworks.net/2012/11/xymon-esx-hardware-health-monitor/****

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.****
