ESXi - SNMP configuration and services visibility
It would be useful to add information on SNMP (is it configured? What communities are configured? What SNMP information is set for the system, location, contact, etc.) and if the service is enabled (is it enabled and set to automatically start?) to the VMWare ESXI inspector. If you are getting the service information, there are several system services and perhaps they could all be returned. (SSH and NTP are a couple of services that come to my mind) This is important because our standard configuration expects SNMP to be configured and active, and we may not realize SNMP isn't active until we notice something isn't reporting as expected. Getting all of the service states is just future proofing. I want to specifically confirm that snmpd is running, but it should be the same amount of work to get the snmpd service status as it is to get all services and their status. I would like the collector to include a result set for the system services (name, state (running/stopped), startup type, etc.) and a result set with the SNMP configuration. Here are some examples of snmp configuration data that the vmware tools cli returns: (The formatting is mine, but the data shows what is reported) Current SNMP Configuration VMHost : 192.168.50.240 enable : false hwsrc : indications largestorage : true loglevel : warning port : 161 Updated SNMP Configuration VMHost : 192.168.50.240 communities : {COMMUNITY1,COMMUNITY2} enable : true engineid : 00000063000000a100000000 hwsrc : indications largestorage : true loglevel : warning port : 161 syscontact : MY COMPANY syslocation : CLIENT NAME And when I use a cli command to get the status for the snmpd service specifically I see: snpmd Status - Running: True - Startup Policy: on ... so you should be able to collect that information for all services in one step.
