I'm using it at work on a ESX server to monitor about 50/60 Esx servers.
I followed this documentation :
http://unnoc.org/docs/1.0.10.1/doc-README.vmware-appliance
First thing to do is to configure network (it's a standard debian, so you should be able to configure this in the file /etc/network/interfaces)
Second thing is to disable mysql binary logs that are eating up space quickly.
Third, configure the unnoc.conf file entering all your virtual center hosts:
it should look like this:
----
host {
hostname = <vc_ip>
description = VMware VCMS 2.0.1 - VI3 Core
service_url = [https://]<vc_ip>/sdk/vimService
community = unnoc
type = vcms
user = <vcuser_unnoc>
password = <vcpassword_unnoc>
interval = 2
group = 111
proc {
name = vpxd.exe
description = VC Service ($name)
min = 1
max = 1
}
proc {
name = sqlmangr.exe, sqlservr.exe
description = MS SQL Server ($name)
min = 1
}
proc {
name = lmgrd.exe, VMWARELM.exe
description = License Server ($name)
min = 1
}
proc {
name = explorer.exe, SNMP.EXE, WINLOGON.EXE, SMSS.EXE, SERVICES.EXE, CSRSS.EXE
description = Windows ($name)
}
}
# Second Virtual Center server and so on.
host {
...
Off course if you use another database (oracle), set the correct process for snmp monitoring (SNMP windows service should be active and configured)
Fourth: Just reload unnoc daemon using command "/etc/init.d/unnocd reload"
Fifth: Just connect you web browser to the configure ip, data is fetched every 2 minutes with this configuration (interval = 2).
Hope it helps.
PS: Off course there are some refined things needed, i've submitted them to the developer but he is actually quite busy, so it should come at some point.
(first boot time wizard would be great)
Feel free to mail me if you are stuck at some point, i will gladly help.
