ESXi monitoring

[sylvaink]

I'm looking for monitor snapshots of an ESXi 4 (list them, and size).

With ESX I use SNMP which call a script on the ESX through and personalize IOD but ESXi 4 only support traps.

I want to monitor this trough a script based on an UNIX for a Nagios platform.

Any idea?

Thanks

You can build your script with VMware SDK.

Perl probably could be the better choice to add this script on the Nagios side.

You can see some examples here:
