Hello,

I'm going back to you seeing IBM isn't fucking up to answer me (even on their model information)

At present, I'm in stage project with PRTG monitoring. I've a server of test with ESXi 5.5, therefore, I would like to have your advice on :

- verify the state and the available place of diskpool

- Verify the state and of the available place of vdisk

- Verify the state of the mirror

Thank you for your future answers, have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Hi there,

I am afraid that we won't have sensors that will cover all these desired metrics. However have you checked our available ESXI and VMware Sensors?

Hi,

Yes i tried it but that doesn't answer all my expectations that I evoked :/

Hi there,

Unfortunately, there are currently no such sensor. Please note that the device has to offer these desired metrics in order to monitor them. As far as I know the API of VMware does not offer such statistics, therefore there is no sensor. Sorry for that. :/

Best regards.

Thank you for your speed to be answered me

Hi there,

Unfortunately, that is not possible. However if you know the API (WBEM or SOAP) of the VMware environment, you might be able to create a custom sensors in PowerShell or any other language. How this is done is explained on the following site:
