Monitor Vmware ESX

[xromero]

Any idea on how to graph machines if they are in a multi-ESX environment?
I've installed that plugin and its great, but once a machine gets moved of node through VMotion or manual migration, then all gets into a mess!!

Thanks!

Right..

I have the same problem. We shoud create a script with the inputs of all ip-adresses from the esx servers. The output is then still the same wherever the virtual server run.

Sorry for my bad english..

ok i try to monitor a BL20P Esx 3 with cacti 0.8.7a

it seems that this problem is link to snmpagent but i've already tried to run snmpagent on the esx (redhat) and I dont know what to do now...[/img]

Ok! I found my problem

it was on every script

u should replace config.php to global.php here :


if (!isset($called_by_script_server)) {
include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../include/global.php");

like it was already post.

Worked for me, too!

Will this work for VMWARE Server (free) running on Linux?

[rwhittaker]

How well will these modules work in a DRS/HA environment?...

Thanks,

im trying to import the template i found in these subject.
When importing the page returns blank and if i press the back button and press again import template a error message apears (fail) m (new)

I tried even to import the template piece by piece but i had many dependency errors.

it these a problem of the xml file or of my host?

i'm trying to get the network traffic on the VMs and i'm getting bogus data.
like 200G 100G. I set the maximum for Data Source Item Fields [traffic_in]
and traffic_out to 100000000 during the creation of the rra, yet i'm still getting this bogus data.

Any ideas what is going on?


ds[traffic_in].max = 1.0000000000e+08

ds[traffic_out].max = 1.0000000000e+08

[alens]

still no luck with the template import.

any hints?

Is this working with ESX 3.5 yet?

I have changed the scripts to reflect 'global.php' instead of 'config.php' but i am still getting:

flakpyro,
I'm having the same issue. cacti 0.8.7b esx 3.5. As best as I can tell, the problem is with the OID used to index the disks.

.1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.3.1.1

This OID returns no data. Perhaps it's changed for 3.5?

What's the best way to monitor ESXi, not ESX, with Cacti? I think the MIBs are different...

I have never had to make my own monitors, how hard is it?

Any update if this works on ESX 3.5?
