I would like to monitor using Nagios my ESXi 4 host server through remote console shell, but there's a couple snags with the Linux environment ESXi comes in:
- There's no gcc installed
- No package manager like yum or apt-get
- Can't find any RPMs related to this RHEL build
So I'm stumped because I can't find RPMs suitable for this RHEL build, and when I want to compile I can't because there's no gcc. Any clues? This is with Nagios using NRPE, but if I have to resort to SNMP I will go that route.
