Cant monitor virtual machines after upgrade to 0.87d
Hi Everybody, I have upgraded my Debian cacti server to lenny and the cacti Installation from 0.86j to 0.87d. All works fine, except the monitoring of the virtual esx machines. I can monitor the ESX host Maschine, but no virtual server (cpu mem etc.). Result: 0 rows 0 items ?!? Its very important for our business.

Has anyone had any luck graphing VMWare vSphere servers? I added a device and it retrieves the system information and in the status column for the graphs it can see there is data returned.
When i run a verbose query though for one of them i get the following.
I know there have been big changes in SNMP in vSphere but before i start digging i wondered if somone had already crossed this bridge.
Many thanks in advance.

ymartin59's original scripts modified for Cacti 0.8.7[x]
Hi,
I finally got round to pointing Cacti (0.8.7e) at an ESX (3.5 U3) host and had a go with ymartin59's scripts posted Nov 17 2006. Unfortunately these don't work with the modified SNMP capabilities that arrived with the 0.8.7 code train, resulting in "Success [0 Items, 0 Rows]" for the ESX host's "Associated Data Queries".
Modifiying the XML and PHP to cope with the new requirements of cacti_snmp_walk and cacti_snmp_get was easy and working files for 0.8.7 are attached. Note that the graph templates are untouched and are as they were three years ago - I've yet to decide if the information they provide is reliable, bearing in mind the previous discussion in this thread.
I've tested the modified files with SNMPv3 (supported from 3.5 U2 I believe) authPriv and all is working OK. I did need to extend Cacti's SNMP Timeout for the ESX host (to 2000ms) to make sure the discovery scripts had enough time to execute properly.
Hope this helps someone,
Cheers,
DickyS

I am still having trouble with some of the graphing. I am able to graph all of the ESX host queries. I don't seem to be able to graph any of the individual VM's running on the ESX host. I have attached my verbose query, which seems ok to me, and the graph debug that throws the error.
it seems to be that the data query is not making the rrd file. I an not very familiar with cacti and would love any help with troubleshooting this graphing problem thanks..

vSphere
Using this documentation from Dell, http://en.community.dell.com/groups/del ... 27351.aspx I am able to snmpwalk my vSphere server from my Cacti system. However, the output from .1.3.6.1.4.1.6876 is very limited, it seems vSpere is not publishing all the data that the older ESX versions did.
snmpwalk output:

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6876.3.5.2.1.7.2 = STRING: "UNKNOWN - NULL PCI DEV IN VMKCTL"
And since the OIDs the script queries does not exist, I am getting the dreaded "No SNMP data returned" in Cacti for all VMware queries.
To me it seems as if VMware has removed the abilty to monitor system performance data via SNMP in vSphere...
But I may be completly wrong of course.

Hi. I'm using the scripts on esx 3.5 u4 and cacti doing a pretty good jod on grahing the data. I have question about the memory usage. Now is graphing service console (not doing much) and I'm looking for graphing and actual esx memory usage. I'm kinda new on this Cacti monitoring. I'm thinking of changing the esx_mem_cos but I cannot find the esx snmp variable on memory. Can anyone help me?
All the data for the host is correctly graphed, however the VM php scripts seems to not work [CentOS5 - Zend 2.1.0 - PHP 5.1.6 - 0.8.7e - ESX 3.5]:
The array seems not well defined.
Code: Select all
php /var/www/html/cacti/scripts/ss_vmware_cpu.php ss_vmware_esx_cpu 1.0.0.5 5 2:161:3000:1:10:public:::::: get usage 14

Monitor used space on VMFS
Has anybody found a way for cacti to monitor used space on an ESX VMFS volume?

Added cpu, mem and net to esxiograph.pl
I have expanded the script ESXIOGRAPH.PL with cpu, mem and net data plot for VM and VS. It works with ESXi 4U1 and Cacti/Ubuntu
You can found it and new templates here: http://www.to.cnr.it/index.php?option=c ... &Itemid=84

giancarlob, I have tried to implement your suggested solution, only to run up against an issue I can't get past; the check_esx3.pl gives me an error message when executing, like this:
ESX3 UNKNOWN - Missing perl module VMware::VIRuntime.
I have installed the VMware Infrastructure (VI) Perl Toolkit (VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-4.0.0-161974.x86_64.tar.gz), but it seems the script is unable to detect the Perl module...
I am seing this under Fedora Core 9.
Anyone have any suggestions?
