VMware ESX Server SNMP Variables
The VMware enterprise tree is at
.iso.dod.org.internet.private.enterprises.vmware.
(.1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.) The tree consists of several groups; the variables in
each of the groups are shown in the tables below.
Note: All variables are read-only.
The data type field refers to the SNMP type described by the structure of
management information (SMI).
vmware.vmwSystem
This group consists of three simple variables providing basic information about the
system.
vmware.vmwVirtMachines
This group consists of virtual machine configuration information in six tables.
vmTable — a table containing information on virtual machines that have been
configured on the system. Each row provides information about a particular virtual
machine.
Name Data type Description
vmwProdName Display string Product name.
vmwProdVersion Display string Product version.
vmwProdOID ObjectID A unique identifier for this product in the VMware MIB. This
ID is unique with respect to versions of the same product
also.
Name Data type Description
vmIdx
(Index field)
Integer This is a dummy number for an index.
vmDisplayName Display string Name by which this virtual machine is displayed.
vmConfigFile Display string Path to the configuration file for this virtual machine.
vmGuestOS Display string Operating system running on this virtual machine.
vmMemSize Integer Memory configured for this virtual machine in MB.
vmState Display string Virtual machine on or off.
vmVMID Integer If a virtual machine is active, an ID is assigned to it (like a pid).
Not all virtual machines may be active, so this cannot be used
as the index.
