Hi
I am trying to find if there is a way to monitor the Virtual Machine performance parameters as shown in the image below using SNMP. I understand we can poll the ESXi host as well as the Guest OS like a virtual firewall to get the information. Is there a way to get this information from the Performance section of the Monitor tab under Virutal Machine which you want to monitor ?

Run a snmpwalk and see what you get.
But the real answer is you should use the vSphere API to fetch the Perf Data of certain VM Objects rather than using SNMP.

Hi Joerg
Thanks for your response. I am using the API to fetch the perf data for the VMs based on each VM ID but I was trying to find if there is a way use SNMP in this case or not.
Moreover when the ESXi and the Guest OS are able to use SNMP I was hoping that there would be a mechanism with which I might be able to fetch the information about the VM as a whole and not just the guest OS responding to the polls.
