I've got the scripts up and running on my install, took a fair bit of
tweaking as the scripts had quite a few items that were hardcoded:

* Had to add "$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0;" to stop LWP trying
to validate the self-signed cert
* Had to remove the sudo command, it doesn't run without a TTY and not
sure why this is in there as resxtop doesn't need to be root to run
* Corrected the BB commands to use the $HOST variable instead of the
hardcoded 'hobbit' servername
* Had to convert the line endings to Unix - thats probably caused by using
rar format? use tar.gz instead (rar is only ever really used for sharing
illegal files)

It seems to work OK as a starting basis, abit too much hardcoded for my
liking but each to their own.

Nice effort :)

Hi all.

I hope you find this monitoring script useful.
My college and I cooked it up tailored to our environment but later
decided to share it with the rest of the world in hope to receive some
feedback, ideas and patches.
I know there is a lot of room for improvement and our goal is to improve
the script with help from you guys.

Remember: sharing is caring
 - so please share your thoughts or patches.

Thanks Svenni,

I'll diff my files compared to your original at some point over the next
couple of days and send you the diffs.

Thanks Steve.

I hope submitting patches can be made easier through SourceForge in the
future. But I will let my college Gudmo decide how he goes about this since
he is the one currently developing and maintaining the script.

Until then post patches here or send directly to me or Gudmo.

It would be good if you could use SourceForge's subversion too.

 Excellent work, and great to have it in SVN.

Please find attached diff with some further changes.

bb-ESXi.pl now 'use strict' compliant
Added a file $BBHOME/.esxpass to keep the root password in.
Avoided some hard-coded paths.

Some issues I haven't investigated yet:
cpu column complains " System clock is -57600 seconds off (max 10)" - I'm
guessing a time zone issue in the [clock] section - UTC: line is not GMT
for starters.
procs checking seems a bit awry maybe due to column layout issues.

I really should pull my finger out and contribute my VM info test.

David.

Gudmo
