The scripts that collect data from VMware ESXi system through SNMP protocol and output data as open-falcon json format

Why use esxicollector?

You have a dedicated server with VMware ESXi operating system and you want to monitor the snmp information through open-falcon. Then you will need some scripts that can translate the snmp OIDs information into certain metric in json-format.

How to use it?

  1. Install SNMP command.
    yum -y install net-snmp net-snmp-utils
  2. Download VMware ESXi MIB files and copy all the mibs files to directory like /usr/share/snmp/mibs
  3. Setup SNMP config
    mkdir ~/.snmp
    echo "mibs +ALL" > ~/.snmp/snmp.conf
  4. Fill proper content into the variables in esxi_collector.sh
  5. Setup cronjobs
    * * * * * esxi_collector.sh

How to verify?

The snmp_queries.sh script calls the basic snmp command and makes plain output. You can compare the json result generated by 60_esxi_*.sh with the plain output.
