I recognise this MRTG file; this is one of my templates from the check_esx 
plugin for MRTG & Nagios.  

 

You need to replace the various %COMMUNITY%, %LHNAME% etc symbols with their 
actual values before you use it.  This is NOT a cfgmaker template, it is 
designed to be used with our custom inhouse templating system.

 

COMMUNITY – SNMP community

LHNAME – the long (FQDN) hostname

SHNAME – the short hostname

OPTA – the VM name (see the initial defaults comment)

OPTB – the warn threshold, eg 80%

OPTC – critical threshold, eg 90%

 

Note that the check_esx is pretty old; we found it had very poor performance in 
large installations.  We now use a special agent that links the VirtualCentre 
to Nagios(via Livestatus) and MRTG(via rrdcached) and dynamically builds the 
configuration files as it goes; I’ve not yet released this to the public, though

Subject: [mrtg] Problem template MRTG for VMWare

 

Good morning guys,

I'm trying to track my VMWare system, but finding these errors.
Who can help me ?!

Thank you,

Andrew

P.S. - This template is attached to an email.
