Hello,
I am a new SolarWinds admin and I have been asked by our management to make use of the SNMP Contact and Location fields in my alerts.
So this has been working fine until I ran into our VMware vSphere ESXi 4.1 and 5.0 nodes. These nodes were not reporting Contact or Location data. So my VMware guy and I spent the day reading various forums and blogs, making changes to our ESXi lab environment. After more than 8 hours of two IT guy’s head scratching, I decided to ask the question here.
Has anyone gotten VMware vSphere ESXi 4.1 or ESXi 5.0 to successfully populate the SNMP collected Contact and Location fields? If so, how did you go about it?
Thanks for any help you can provide
