VMware monitoring with ease
summary
Module claims automated, hierarchical VM checks driven by monitoring rules, exporting results and performance metrics to InfluxDB integration and the Icinga Director. It supports VMware 5.5–8, polls thousands of VMs asynchronously, and uses a rewritten vSphereDB daemon with a database writer subprocess to avoid overload. Examples: snapshot age and count thresholds, uptime warnings (30/100 days), disk free percent vs absolute bytes, and per-folder rule inheritance that deploys concrete Icinga services by UUID.
