Any tools for getting detailed hardware info&warns for troubleshooting in ESXi

esxcli hardware sel list  can make some system event logs based on BMC but it's not enough or detailed shown.

Is there other better tools to share for hardware info&warns for troubleshooting?

Hello,

Go into the Configuration tab, then Health Status

http://masteringvmware.com/how-to-view-esxi-host-hardware-status/

Aslo try this esxcfg-info commdn.

     -N N    Print info output for N iterations.

     -a –all

             Print all information available through esxcfg-info.

     -w –hardware

You can retrieve this information by browsing to https://youresxhost/cgi-bin/esxcfg-info.cgi.

You can also use Hardware vendor management tool to get complete hardware healthj status like iDrack for Dell and HPSIM for HP.

Nagios is a great hardware monitoring utility. It should cover all you need.

Here's a guide on how to deploy and configure Nagios for VMware: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/docs/Monitoring-VMware-With-Nagios-XI.pdf

Hope it helps.
