The other day I was sitting up in bed at stupid o’clock patching my ESXi servers, and I was skimming over the VMware KB articles describing the patches in case there was a footnote like ‘this patch will delete all of your VMs and revoke your driving licence’. Then I saw this in the KB article for patch ESXi410-201107401-BG: There are quite a few blog posts out there describing how to enable the SNMP daemon on ESXi ( this rather well-written one is the one I used). However, the only information I’ve found says that the only data available is in the standard MIBs supported by most devices, giving information similar to netstat. If that’s all there was, it ain’t particularly useful. No idea what the deal is with earlier versions. This technique can be used to find out if any SNMP-enabled device has something interesting to share, but here I concentrate on VMware ESXi 4.1.
