Doesn't matter which command you run, everything takes 3-7 seconds on my 2x quad 2,5ghz machine, and it consume 100% cpu. This means that I cannot poll/graph as many hosts and vm's as I'd like unfortunately.. check_esx3.pl is a nice script and I’ve started using it to create graphs of cpu, memory etc. Although it consumes enormous amounts of cpu when running, any idea why?

Hi,
I try this on my Cacti box, but it doesn’t work.

when I run ./esxiograph.sh io_vm manually I get :
usage:to read:at write:Bad

when I run ./esxiograph.sh io_vs I get:
read_latency:0 write_latency:0 kernel_latency:0 device_latency:0 queue_latency:0

check_esx3.pl -l runtime -s list shows me the actual number and names of the VM’s

Any idea how to solve this ?
