esxi__sensors
Name
esxi__sensors - Munin plugin to monitor hardware sensors in a VMware ESXi installation.
Applicable Systems
VMware ESX and ESXi systems. Might work with other systems that use CIM and CIM_NumericSensors, probably with changes to the namespace.
The host on which the plugin is run must have the pywbem Python library installed.
Configuration
The remote host name is taken from the plugin name as the SNMP plugins are; to monitor host 192.168.1.15, symlink the plugin to esxi_192.168.1.15_sensors .
The username and password for accessing the ESXi system must be set in a config file:
[esxi_192.168.1.15_*]
env.user monitor
env.pass passw0rd
To create an account just for monitoring the ESXi, add a user to the host, make it a member of the ‘root’ group, and give it the ‘No access’ role. That will allow the account to connect via WBEM, but not via any of the management tools.
In the event that not all sensor types are desired, the plugin can be limited to a subset of the types available:
env.sensors 2 3 5
Check the sensor_data dictionary at the top of the script to see what sensor types are available.
Interpretation
This is a multigraph plugin that will generate separate graphs for each type of sensor. The names of the sensors are taken from the ESXi host.
If the host provides error thresholds for the sensor readings, those will be passed along to munin.
