VMwareESX

Submitted By: netdata (Wouter D'Haeseleer)

This zenpack will do the following:

Create a device class: /Devices/Server/ESX
Apply a new FileSystem template to that class
Add a libexec command to collect for the FileSystem template
Add a new cmd collector plugin (VmwareEsxDf) and will be applied to the device class
Add all ESX related MIBS

So you can get all the VMFS filesystems of the esx server

Actions to take to get this zenpack to work:

Add the esx server to zenoss - once it is added please fill in the:
- zCommandPassword
- zCommandUsername

The VmwareEsxDf will model the filesystem using ssh but for the performance I will use snmp. (I don't want to ssh every 5 min to the ESX server)

so on the esx server edit the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and add:

exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.99999.1 vdf /usr/sbin/vdf

The OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.99999.1 is used by the FileSystem template.

Now restart the snmpd service on the ESX server:

/etc/init.d/snmpd restart

Now you are ready to remodel the device and the VMFS filesystems will be added and after a few zencommand cycles you also will have the performance graphs for the filesystem.

What needs to be done?

If someone is good eneugh at python it would be nice that: FileSystem template and VmwareEsxDf uses the 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.99999.1 OID to get what they want.
