ESX VM-
A modified version of ESX VM- to use a script based active discovery that also gives instance level properties. Uses Get-View to get data about the VMs and uses Get-VM as a fallback for those syste...
@Michael Rodrigues I created a separate datasource called ESX_VM_Health that actually monitors and alerts on the status of VMTools and a few other metrics. I only just submitted it today, but I'd actually like to see my datasource wrapped up into the default ESX_VM- datasource since they are both extremely useful. The datasource I submitted is also written in groovy, so you shouldn't have too much trouble merging the two since the collectors don't need any modifications to take advantage of the added data. Your team could probably make it more reliable as well, since my datasource will likely throw errors on any ESX hosts older than v5.1. I never got a chance to look into proper error handling to address it, but your guys would probably make quick work of it.
Thanks!
