Vmbix 1.1.0 released

[tatapoum]

Hi,

I updated Vmbix to v1.1.0.
You will find the jar and zip archive here : https://drive.google.com/folderview?...p=sharing#list. Or you can clone the SVN repo and compile it yourself.

The website is still https://code.google.com/p/vmbix/.

Here is the changelog :
1.1.0
- Fixed the unnecessary carriage return in the output
- Added Zabbix Low-Level Discovery methods to automatically create datastores, hosts, virtual machines, and VM disks. A JSON-formatted output is displayed (using Google GSON), ex:

 # zabbix_get -s localhost -p 12050 -k esx.discovery[*]
 {"data":[{"{#ESXHOST}":"esx0.domain.local"},{"{#ESXHOST}":"esx1.domain.local"}]}

- Added several items
* VMWare Performance Manager counters:

  counters[name]: list the available counters for an entity (VM, host, datastore)

  vm.counter[name,counter,[instance,interval]]: displays the value of the counter with optional interval/instance

The method outputs an aggregated sum or average of real-time values, ex:

  # zabbix_get -s localhost -p 12050 -k vm.counter[VMNAME,cpu.ready,,200] 
491

An additional interval parameter was added to the configuration file to specify the default interval for the performance counter queries.
* VM Tools status methods
* ping : always returns 1, to check vmbix availability
* about : display vCenter SDK version
* guest IP/hostname methods
* etc
- The status/powerstate methods now return an integer value instead of a string (ex: "poweredOff"). This is better to store integers than strings in Zabbix and allows for graphing. Typically :

 Running State:
 0 -> poweredOff
 1 -> poweredOn
 2 -> suspended
 3 -> unknown 

 Status:
 0 -> grey
 1 -> green
 2 -> yellow
 3 -> red
 4 -> unknown

- The Zabbix templates haven't been updated yet.

Hi tatapoum,

I've added two additional checks to the original version that we need for some of our Lab VM servers. Is this something you can add (I'm not very familiar with svn or even Java really). I haven't looked at the current versions source code to see if it follows the same format as the original version:

Pattern pDatastoreProvisioned   = Pattern.compile("^(?:\\s*ZBXD.)?.*datastore\\.size\\[(.+),provisioned\\]"         );        //
Pattern pDatastoreUncommitted   = Pattern.compile("^(?:\\s*ZBXD.)?.*datastore\\.size\\[(.+),uncommitted\\]"       );        //
....

found = checkPattern(pDatastoreProvisioned  ,string); if (found != null) { getDatastoreSizeProvisioned (found, out); return; }
found = checkPattern(pDatastoreUncommitted   ,string); if (found != null) { getDatastoreSizeUncommitted(found, out); return; }

....

        private void getDatastoreSizeProvisioned            (String dsName,   PrintWriter out) throws IOException {
            long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            Datastore ds = (Datastore)getManagedEntityByName(dsName,"Datastore");
            Long provSpace;
            if (ds == null) {
                long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
                System.out.print("No datastore named '" + dsName + "' found\n");
                // request took:" + (end-start) + "\n");
                provSpace = new Long(0);
            } else {
                long total  = returnDatastoreSizeTotal(dsName);
                long free   = returnDatastoreSizeFree(dsName);
                long uncom  = returnDatastoreSizeUncommitted(dsName);
                long temp   = total - free + uncom;
                provSpace   = temp;
                if (provSpace == null) {
                    provSpace = new Long(0);
                }
                // System.out.println("store " + dsName +" free: " + freeSpace
                // + "\n it took " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start) );
            }
            out.print(provSpace + "\n");
            out.flush();
        }

        private void getDatastoreSizeUncommitted            (String dsName,   PrintWriter out) throws IOException {
            long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            Datastore ds = (Datastore)getManagedEntityByName(dsName,"Datastore");
            Long freeSpace;
            if (ds == null) {
                long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
                System.out.print("No datastore named '" + dsName + "' found\n");
                // request took:" + (end-start) + "\n");
                freeSpace = new Long(0);
            } else {
                DatastoreSummary dsSum = ds.getSummary();
                freeSpace = dsSum.getUncommitted();
                if (freeSpace == null) {
                    freeSpace = new Long(0);
                }
                // System.out.println("store " + dsName +" free: " + freeSpace
                // + "\n it took " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start) );
            }
            out.print(freeSpace + "\n");
            out.flush();
        }

It seems ok. I'll try to add this ASAP and release a 1.1.1 version.
