VMWare - ESXi monitoring

[mrw]

Just wanted to add that with the latest version of VMmon1 the memory usage work as it should!
So I´m very happy with it!

Does anybody have good tech contact at VMWare?
We don't see how to reach their developers.

We implemented new tests, testing HostMonitor - it looks like HostMonitor works fine while VMWare Management Agents fail. If HostMonitor performs 100-200 requests for each server (or even 20-50 requests if you start many tests at once) then agents on ESXi hosts 4.1, 5.0, 5.5 stop responding

If VMWare does not have some solution (beside restarting agents on regular basis) then these tests will not be helpful...

Alex, any progress with this?

No
We will upload Beta as is and hope somebody will be able to reach VMWare developers.
There is another option for monitoring but this option will work more slowly and we are not sure it will work more reliable.

Maybe a bit off-topic, but I like the vmMon1 tool a lot
Does it work with command line variables, so I can run it as a custom menu from within HM?

Cheers!

We had such plans but we stopped development until we can get some useful reply from VMWare team regarding MOB related problems.
We already had conversation with VMWare representative but we still did not get answer from developers...
