Can I use Kaseya to monitor VMWare ESX server? - Connect IT Community | Kaseya
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p>KB#: KKB000159</p> <p>Question</p> <p>We want to monitor the physical disks, processor, etc from a VMware ESX server. At the moment we need to walk to the servers and check manually. Can Kaseya be used for this?</p> <p> </p> <p>Answer</p> <p>Although you cannot install a kaseya agent on an ESX server, ESX does support SNMP. You can use a kaseya agent on another machine to use SNMP to query this device.</p> <p><br>Information about ESX and SNMP can be found here - <a href="/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vmware.com%2Fpdf%2Fesx2_admin.pdf">http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx2_admin.pdf</a></p> <p> </p> <p>To properly monitor VMWare ESX, you can use the Network Monitor module.
