Monitor ESXi using SNMP

[SK90]

Gents, I am testing ESXi5.5 monitoring using open source monitoring tool Zabbix. I enabled the SNMP and Trap on host, but not able to understand how can I get MIB's which contains the OID of hardware devices. I understand that once SNMP is configured on ESXi I need to install VMware MIB's into Zabbix monitoring tool so that trap sent to monitoring tool can be entertained? Please share your knowledge to get this done. Thanks

You need to add those MIBs into Zabbix database, then you can enable custom monitoring for hyper-visor. I don't have Zabbix hands on but the process is similar I am doing in Solarwind virtualization virtualization manager. There is MIB browser you can apply to added server objects and verify if those are applicable. Read 'readme' text file received with MIBs, or check Zabbix KB articles if you face any issue.

Thanks for update. Great to hear that you have already implemented this in Solarwind monitoring. Can you suggest me the link I can download relevant MIB 's. I have HP proliant server G8/9/10.
