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

    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… :-)

  2. Steve Chambers:

    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.
