<![CDATA[ESX Monitoting with vmgr.nsm/libvirt on Windows]]>Hello @all,

is there a chance to get ESX Hypervisor monitoring with vmgr.nsm/libvirt on a NetXMS Server (installed at Windows 10) to work?

Greetings
Marco

Feel free to comment if anything else should be added.

Because libvirt library is not well supported on windows (current version is old and may have bugs that are still not fixed in it) we do not compile vmgr.nsm for windows at all.

That being the case, shouldn't you add something to the Hypervisor monitoring documentation to explain this? Again, this goes towards listing basic/minimum requirements.

If libvirt doesn't get automatically installed, can I install the Windows version of libvirt (https://libvirt.org/windows.html)?

The Hypervisor monitoring documentation (https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/hypervisor-monitoring.html) in the NetXMS Administrator Guide doesn't do a good job of explaining any of this, or even what the basic requirements are (i.e., Linux only, Windows requires additional steps, etc).

Do you know if libvirt bundelt with the netxms agent package (debian) or must i install libvirt?

I'd advise to use a separate linux system with netxms agent and libvirt.
