Does anyone tried monitoring ESX as described in this document. I am half way the document, and need to create a test snmp alert, to find the OID for HP servers, but don't know how.
In the document they used Dell Servers, but we have HP.
I tried installing HP management agent. There suppose to be a test SNMP button in the browser, but it's not there.
Thanx
I went through the guide a long time ago and found it hard and not intuitive to setup. With ESX 3.5 update 2 it includes Hardware monitoring at least for Dell 2950. Nworks provides a pretty good MP for SCOM 2007.

Thread moved to VI:ESX 3.5 forum.
I got the test snmp button working. I uninstalled the 8.1 version of the HP management agent, en installed version 7.9.
But using the test snmp button still does noet generate an alert.
Someone monitoring ESX servers with Scom? Are you using third party software from Jalasoft, ExcSoftware are Nworks.
I'm considering ExcSoftware.
