<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">All,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I don’t know if anyone else already posted this, I just joined the mail list.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We have been using check_openmanage (brilliant piece of work!) to check the hardware status of our Dell machines, lately we are moving from ESX 4 to ESXi 5 and found that the check_openmanage check could not help us with
the monitoring of ESXi 5 hardware, because check_openmanage needs OMSA for its checks. 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>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </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…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><b><span lang="NL" style="font-size:10.0pt">Met vriendelijke groet/with kind regards,</span></b><span lang="NL" style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
