I put the client on all the virtual machines and for the esx server it self you can enable SNMP and use vmesx extension test: http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=1048 From: Michael Levitre <user-5b40250d0547@xymon.invalid> Organization: Dynamic Recovery Solutions Reply-To: <user-ae9b8668bcde@xymon.invalid> Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:28:28 -0400 To: <user-ae9b8668bcde@xymon.invalid> Cc: 'Some Body' <user-4696f99b2ab9@xymon.invalid> Subject: [hobbit] Setting this up and monitoring VM Servers?

I started putting something together for Devmon to pull infor from the VMWare host using SNMP.
Then we did a reorg here at work, and suddenly we had way more work than we could handle, and no time to play with things like Devmon modules.
I posted my (incomplete) work on the list, in the hope somebody would take over, but I know of no takers.
Search the archive for me, Devmon and ESX. You should find it there somewhere.

I did try out devmon some time ago but I don't have urgent need to monitor snmp devices. and stop putting time into devmon since Henrik is working on snmp query/monitoring in 4.(3/4).0 version. tj

Well, besides the most basic network interface utilisation graphs, NBAR protocol utilisation graphs, QoS graphs, and monitoring and graphing of CPU and memory usage on all network devices, we use devmon for: -monitoring HP ProLiant: --RAID array status --Fan status --Temperature (with graphs) --Integrated Management Log --Power supply status We have replaced a number of power supplies which had intermittent problems that would not otherwise have been easily picked up. -Monitoring for Dell PowerEdge: --RAID array status --Fan status --Temperature (with graphs) --Power supply status -Radius servers: --Monitoring per-RADIUS-client accounting and authentication requests -Linux servers: --Red Hat cluster status --Per-Disk IO graphs -Firewalls: --Graph of connections --Monitoring of cluster status -Load balancer (templates still in progress) --Connections to each real server --Connections to the virtual server --Server farm status Anti-spam appliances: --CPU utilisation --Fans --Keys for licensed features (e.g., warn when expiration imminent) --Memory --Power supplies --RIAD arrays --Resources (graphs of disk io, open files, and threads) --Temperatures (with graphs) One of my colleagues is using devmon for agent-less monitoring of Windows servers (using microsoft-win2k3server template available in svn). Some agentless monitoring is also available for Linux (e.g., linux-netsnmp or linux-openwrt templates) In most cases, templates can be developed quite easily. The VMWare case seems to be a bit difficult, as the IDs they use as indexes in some of the SNMP tables don't match up to the IDs they use as indexes in other tables. Now, while MRTG can do some of this, most of the more complex templates (ProLiant IML, RAID for ProLiant and PowerEdge, Cisco CSM load balancer) I think can not be done with MRTG, and while they can be done with Cacti with some effort, there's no decent integration with any monitoring system. AFAICT, most of the work done on Xymon for SNMP is following the (not so great) MRTG model. And besides, I get all the features Xymon's SNMP support will bring in future right now. And, using the data, I can do things like this: http://staff.telkomsa.net/~bgmilne/weathermap/ (every link that is not grey would have a pup-up to the Hobbit graph of e.g. network utilisation, and any host with a background colour to the text will have popup of a Hobbit service graph - conn by default - it works fine from inside our network, but won't work from outside it now). I am trying to finish up this code so I can publish a final version. Besides that, I think we are just about monitoring everything we can monitor with SNMP, at this stage the only think I can do to monitor more things via SNMP with devmon is to start filing bugs on SNMP agents (e.g. net-snmp can monitor mail queues, but only for sendmail, and we are running postfix on anything with more than a trivial queue on it).

So Xymon release 4.4.0 will have built in Dev mon? that is great news if its true. -Gavin

We are also implementing the following custom EXTs for our ESX hosts (will be posted to DeadCat once complete): - a modified "vdf" to output the vmfs information to a vmdisk column - parse "vmware-cmd -l", "vmware-cmd VMNAME getstate", and "vmware-cmd VMNAME getheartbeat" to provide a vmrun column - a modified "du -h" to output the snapshot & vm file sizes & usage to a vmfile column We are also working on SNMP, but prefer using an EXT where possible.
