I run my hass.io installation on one RPI3, but I have a server running VMWare ESXI(with IPMI interface if that matters) with various VM’s in, I am just curious if anyone know a way for HA to monitor the temp sensors(get a reading) of the motherboard in which I am running ESXI on so I can get a warning if temp of ex. my hdd’s get to high, fan’s stop running and so on?
Preferably I would also want to make HA take a decision and maybe shut down ESXI(which will make ESXI shut down all my VM’s first), and turn off my server? Would be perfect together with my APC monitoring that I already do in my HA installation.
I am currently monitoring my network equipment as well as server’s using SNMP and LibreNMS. LibreNMS has a built in API that I have started to build an integration with Home Assistant to monitor server and switch stats. It has the capability to monitor the status of esxi hosts as well. I have just started on this venture with the api but have been using the monitoring software for a year now and it has been great.
