Suggest nagios plugin to Virtual machines

[ericssonvietnam]

Hi,

Need your help to find out best plugin to user with nagios core for virtual machines. Goal is to fetch data like:
: Numb of VM Hosted on HYP
: Hostname, ip and other details of those VM
: System resources allocated vs used to running vms
: Other hardware details ( as much possible)

can you please suggest some generic or vendor specific plugins if available. I tried searching your exchange..but no luck.

Are you looking for plugins for vmware, hyper-v, kvm, xen, or something else?

I am looking out for a "generic" plugin which can work on all or at least of *Nix Os.

There isn't one single plugin / solution for what you are looking for but here are a few examples you can look at.

NRPE allows you to remotely execute Nagios plugins on other Linux/Unix machines. This allows you to monitor remote machine metrics (disk usage, CPU load, etc.).
NRPE can also communicate with some of the Windows agent addons, so you can execute scripts and check metrics on remote Windows machines as well.
Take a look athis link for more details.

and
This Plugin checks that all virtual machines running on your Hyper-V server are in good health.
