[Nagios-users] ESXi/vCenter Monitoring

2013-08-12 Thread Daniel Ceola
Hello all, I have a lot of host servers as VM's on our ESXi infrastructure, managed with vCenter. We also use vSphere DRS to help keep the load on host systems balanced. Due to the DRS, our VM's can sometimes move around from being on one host to being on another w/o my knowledge beforehand.

check_mk 1.2.3 should do that for you. There's a bit of pain migrating your config into check_mk's WATO, but IMHO it's worth it in the long run. http://mathias-kettner.com/check_mk.html It might be prudent to wait for the check_mk 1.2.3i2 before playing with it, though. Cheers, Phil --
