Datastores monitoring with SNMP

Hi all,

I'de like to know which OID I've to use to monitor my datastores.

I've add ESXi MIBs in my monitoring appliance (PRTG and Zenoss).

I'm particularly intreresting in the following stats :

     - IOPS

     - Disk space

     - Disk use

     - Disk free

I've googled to find this info without sucess.

Can anybody help me on this topic ?

Thanks'

Thierry

Hi Stygre

Welcome to the communites.

Have you tried OTRS tools ,its very usefull tool through which you can monitor storage,cpu RAM etc.

What version of ESXi are you running? If you are using ESXi 5 or later try using the HOST-RESOURCES MIB. That will Fetch the required Info.

I've ESXi 4.1

I don't find which OID to use to monitor Datastore.

Also, I dont want to use other monitoring solution, I realy need to stay with PRTG.

Exactly

You need ESXi 5.0 for which HOST-RESOURCES MiB is available

What are  the parameters of the datastore you are looking to monitor? You could look at CIM as an Option

Hi,

I'v check host ressources mib and no reference to datastore :smileycry::

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-4-esx-vcenter/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.vsphere.dcadmin.doc_41/vsp_...

It's seems that there is no way to monitor datastore with esx mib.

I'm wrong ?

Exactly what I said earlier. For your requirement you need to have vSphere 5: Check the link below. Hope that helps

The MIB file for Datastore monitoring is HOST-RESOURCES-MIB and the OID is .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3 and the name is hrStorageDescr
