No, I am successful in retrieving the basic machine SNMP info (like network traffic etc, but not the VMWare ESX specific stuff)

yes.. the IO graphs are working fine (sorry for the late reply, but I was gone skiing last week). The nightly maintenance (like performing backups) is visible on the IO graph. Would be a nice addition if the script can graph per datastore. I can't say anything regarding the CPU resources, apparently...

I've got it. The CPAN modules debian provides are a bit older than the once that are required and the ones that are required wouldn't install using CPAN. I needed to manually make the CPAN modules.

I'm getting there. needed to install the SDK. Done that. also needed to add 2 more Perl modules, done that as well.

Can't locate Nagios/Plugin.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr...

this scripting seems like the thing I'm looking for, but I get the following error when I try to run esxiograph.sh; /usr/share/cacti/site/scripts# bash esxiograph.sh io_vs ipaddress bla username password Can't open perl script "/usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/check_esx3.pl": No such file or ...
