Introduction

When SNMP is enabled on the ESX hypervisors on your network, OptiView will be able to communticate with the ESX showing detailed information that is otherwise unavailable.

  • Device resources and virtual machine info.  
  • What virtual machine is running on what host
  • What host is running a specific virtual machine

Solution

To enable SNMP, execute the following command on each ESX. 

esxcli system snmp set --community <community string>
esxcli system snmp set --enable true
