Today I found a other plugin to check ESXi hardware, see <a href="http://www.claudiokuenzler.com/nagios-plugins/check_esxi_hardware.php">http://www.claudiokuenzler.com/nagios-plugins/check_esxi_hardware.php</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>There is one disadvantage to this plugin and that is that you always get the same status details back with a OK. I don’t know if it is possible but it would be nice to have the checks from the check_esxi_hardware available in the check_openmanage, only problem is one is written in Python the other in Perl…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I hope it helps and that maybe someone (Trond the author of check_openmanage?) can create one check of this.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-fareast-language:NL'>Met vriendelijke groet/with kind regards,</span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:NL'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:NL'>Arnold Hölzel</span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;mso-fareast-language:NL'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
