Subject: esxtop
Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2008 10:03:59 +0000
Hi All,
Was hoping someone could help me or at least steer me in the right direction when monitoring "memory usage" on an esx server. I have searched the web and newgroups only to find people talking about using esxtop and changing the hobbitclient-linux.sh script, when monitoring load and CPU. Unfortunately when changing the startup script to use esxtop the memory monitor column fails.
I considered writing a basic script to monitor the memory (example below), but am not sure how I would create the graphs to trend the mem usage.
###################
#!/bin/sh
COLUMN=mem
COLOR=green
cat /proc/vmware/mem |grep "Machine memory free" > /tmp/meminfo.txt
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`
`cat /tmp/meminfo.txt`
"
exit 0

Does anyone have any better ideas or are doing anything different that could help resolve this dilemma?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
