How to monitor temperature on host with ESXI?

Question

linux

Good afternoon.
There is a server running ESXI on it.
Using vSphere Client, you can connect to the server and view in the Performance - Anything tab, except for the temperature of the components.
I heard about zabbix and nagios.
What is better to use? Haven't dealt with either.

Answer 1

There are two ways to track:
1. via host esxi
2. for HP servers via iLO
Let's consider option 1 in more detail.
We go to the vSphere Client, the Configuration tab Next, the menu Hardware / Health Status
If you see Temperature sensors, then you can monitor them using scripts and fasten these scripts to any zabbix and nagios monitoring system.
Here is one of the working Nagios Plugin scripts: check_esxi_hardware.py
You need to check the work of this script in your linux console. When you see a positive result, you can deal with the monitoring system.

Answer 2

If the server is self-assembling, then it's better to monitor the temp in the server room - buy some kind of sensor thread with the ability to send SMS to a mobile.
You can see the difference between self-assembly and a branded server in the pictures

Answer 3

I monitored in Zabbix via IPMI

Answer 4

Server (hardware), what? Is there a remote control module?

Answer 5

Try to google what data esxi gives via snmp. Perhaps there is also a temperature.
