ESXi 4.0 Hardware and Software Monitoring VMWare

[dima_dm]

thats all... This must be due to a change in VmWare hipervisor, like always.

No, because Blade Servers don't have PowerSupplays, PowerSupplays are installed in HP BladeSystem c7000 or c3000 Enclosure.

This very simple and standard instruction, and don’t require any comment.
OK. added:

When I run:
/usr/bin/wbemcli ei -noverify "https://root:[email protected]/root/hpq:SMX_FAN"

I got:

*
* /usr/bin/wbemcli: Cim: (3) CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE: Invalid namespace
*

Any clue?

Do you use HP hardware?
Do you use ESXi 4 or 4.1 with HP agents?

esxi 5.0 is fine, but in our environment the script just takes too much time to finish.

time ./zabbix_perl_api_vmware.pl
0

real 0m23.684s
user 0m8.896s
sys 0m0.125s



sometimes i got errors because some values can't be received within 30 seconds.

7095:20111012:130105.877 Item [esxi2:MaintenanceMode[{$HOST}]] became not supported: Not supported by Zabbix Agent

7096:20111012:132148.248 Item [esxi1:CpuUsed[{$HOST}]] became supported




i'm thinking to move the .pl scripts to cron.
also the 600 seconds polling interval is too much i've changed it to 300 seconds and thinking to decrease it to 150 seconds.
anybody facing the same problem?

[pc99096]

nobody?
is this more than 20 seconds processing normal?

thanks all for your answers

Hi,

I began to migrate the zabbix_perl_api_vmware.pl to request centrally the ESX hosts via the VCC, please find below the modified script. Some items are not returned, thanks to terminate if you have the ESX knowledge.

The new syntax is now: zabbix_perl_api_vmware_VCC.pl --server <VCC_Name_or_IP> --username <VCC_user> --password <VCC_password> --vihost <ESX_Host_Name_or_IP>

Thanks,
Alain

I submitted a thread by Vmware about the missing counters returned by zabbix_perl_api_vmware_VCC.pl, the main point is that the number of counters returned by some subroutines like function retrieve_performance (same code as viperformance.pl) is different when lauched from each ESX or through VCenter Server.

Below the thread URL, will post here the answer if any.

Thanks Alain
