[zenoss-zenpacks] VMware ESX Zenpack

[netdata]

What is it:

You can download it here: http://www.zenoss.com/community/projects/zenpacks/zenpacks#commzenpacks

This zenpack will model a VMware ESX server for specific items.
Currently it only collects everything about the FileSystem.

Standard zenoss models the filesystem of the console instead of the VMware ESX.

Now this zenpack adds the VMFS volumes too.

Configure:

For detailed info look at th README.txt included in the zenpack.

Please setup VMware SNMP as described in this document:
http://www.vmware.com/support/esx21/doc/esx21admin_snmpagents.html

After you have done this please add the following to your snmpd.conf

/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Code:
exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.99999.1 vdf /usr/sbin/vdf



Add the ESX server:

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)

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.
