Ok, I think I have this going. dbuck, I noticed the same thing as you about the double $$, but I got errors running the command through Zenoss with a single $.
I've had a look at the code in the check_esx2 perl script, and it seemed like since this was only doing an SNMP poll, it should be possible to pull CPU usage without an external command. I've created a new datapoint, and have some screenshots, but I don't know how to make this a zenpack or post pictures. Basically, to get CPU monitoring going, do the following: 1. Delete the existing CPU_Utilization Data Source. 2. Create a new CPU_Utilization Data Source of type Derive that polls the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.1.2.1.3 with RRD Min value of 0. 3. Add the Data Source to the graph CPU_Utilization. 4. Delete the existing missing Graph Point with sequence number 0. 5. Change the units to Percent, the Min Y to 0 and Max Y to 100. 6. Click the remaining Graph Point and change the name to Utilization_cpuUtil, RPN to "100,*" (without quotes), format to %5.1lf%% and legend to Utilization. Delete any existing RRD graphs for the virtual hosts called CPU_Utilization_CPU_Utilization.rrd (I do this from the command line with a find). In about 15 minutes, you should have CPU usage for the individual virtuals. I'm not sure if this is 100%, but it appears to work for me... cynfewl. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=35550#35550 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list zenoss-users@zenoss.org http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
