Monitoring VMWare ESX using a SCOM
Jonathan Hambrook complied this excellent guide a couple of months ago but it looks like the links are broken and he no longer maintains his site so I am going to host the guide here.
Also this post is worth checking out if you want to monitor SNMP devices

Steve Chambers:
What a great document. We are launching a new site called VIOPS, and this is currently piloted at http://vpp-dev-1.vmware.com
Would you consider authoring a proven practice on that site?
Thanks for posting, very good stuff. Any more nuggets like this…

I’ve started a doc that points back to here and links to your version of the pdf.

I didn’t write the document Jonathan Hambrook did. Please give him any credit.
