check_esx3 (Visit this link)
4 from 1 votesNagios plugin made by www.op5.com which is compatible with ESX 3.5 which uses the VMWare API (via HTTPS) to do a wide variety of checks. You can check out the latest version with GIT from their repository at git://git.op5.org/nagios/op5plugins.git
Requires the Nagios::Plugin CPAN module as well as the "VMware Infrastructure (VI) Perl Toolkit Packages" available from http://www.vmware.com/download/sdk/
See http://www.op5.com/support/documentation/how-to/400-monitoring-vmware-esx-3x-and-vmware-esxi for Nagios Command definitions, although the latest version of the script supports additional checks which aren't listed on that webpage yet, so you'll probably need to make a few more up.

Check hardware running VMware ESXi
3 from 3 votesPython script which permits you to check your hardware's health when it runs VMware (free) ESXi appliance. -
check_esx
2 from 4 votesCheck CPU, Memory, Network, and VM Status on a VMWare ESX virtual server, via SNMP. Also support for MRTG querying, and listing VMs/interfaces. V2.3 fixes minor problems triggered by the Nagios 2 embedded perl compiler. Now superceeded by check_vmware which uses VC API instead of SNMP: http://www.steveshipway.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1648 -
check_vmware3.pl
5 from 1 votesA nagios check plugin for VMware ESX Server based on the perl API.
You need the VMware perl API to use it. (And you need to patch that API to get rid of a bug in it)
Including the Netways NagiosGrapherV1 templates to get nice graphs.
look at it on http://nagioswiki.org/wiki/Plugin:check_vmware3.pl -

check esx datastores aka VMFS filesystems using Python and CIM
from 0 votesGood Afternoon guys, here I created another Python Script. This script will check your DataStores aka VMFS. I built this script so that it can be used with Nagios and or Zenoss. The purpose of this script is so that you can monitor thresholds on a per DataStore/VMFS. You will need to download and install Pywbem in order to use this script. Script is available here http://www.linuxdynasty.org/check-esx-datastores-using-python-and-cim.html -
VM-Ware ESX snapshot check
4 from 2 votesThis shell script uses the output of the "find" command (published via snmp to avoid check_by_ssh or NRPE) to determine the existance of any snapshot files in a directory an its subdirectories within VM-Ware ESX servers. -
check_snmp_vmfs.sh
4.5 from 2 votesThis shell script uses the output of the "vdf" command (published via snmp to avoid check_by_ssh or NRPE) to determine the free space of a given vmfs volume as measured in GB.
