Are you trying to reproduce what the wizard does in XI, to core?

Short answer: You can't.
Better answer: The ESX wizard is for configuring monitoring of the ESX/vSphere application and will only provide information allowed by VMWare API's. There was a time when you could actually do some dodgy stuff on the ESX shell to get monitoring of the OS, though it did void your service contract. Unfortunately you can't do that sort stuff any more.
