    you can try nodewatch but it is only for OVZ at http://vpsantiabuse.com/

    You can try WD-40 but it's not for this situation at all.

  • On a serious note, V-Sphere should give you some status that will help, however ESXI isn't really an environment that attracts free / open source tools.

    You re right I did not read all, did not see that was VMware, so WD 40 will do it

  • WD-40 is pretty good to have around but i agree it's not for this situation at all, just like nodewatch.

    Do you run a standalone vsphere hypervisor or do you have a "non free" license and run vcenter?

    @zrunner - Paid for instance.

    At the moment i'm looking at:

    Sexilog
    Veeam One Free
    VMTurbo

  • @AnthonySmith - esxtop is painful across a ton of hosts....

    Looking at vRealize Operations Manager or vRealize Log Insight (looks like an ELK clone) now, $$$ for Ops Manager but it looks great for this kind of thing.

    vRealize Log Insight is included with our license though so I may just default to that.

    Sure is, but then again, there was no mention of that in the OP and also, it has a batch output and nothing is more accurate.
