Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

I was looking for plugin or script to montior vms running on ESXI servers as hypervisor level not OS. I would like to monitor things like CPU load , memory usage , etc.

Have anyone gone through same stream of mine or have any idea where i should look for? Any help would be great full .


Thanks in Advance

This will provide the host information that you're looking for I believe.

Thanks for the response. This plugin however says not designed to install on nagios host. This brings down the whole purpose :/

The reason why it uses the vMA appliance is because the vMWare SDK is very resource hungry.

This may work for you:

I dont think you are understanding exactly how it works, ESXi doesnt expose anything about the hypervisor to monitoring systems to do this you need to use the vMA, which is what the box293_check_vmware does
the plugins work within nagios and will report performance / status via nagios

Thanks @nozlaf

@pradeepanan - let us know if you have any further questions.
