ipMonitor and VMWare

If you are using ESXi you are pretty limited on snmp polling. I use IPMonitor for Ping and Bandwidth testing on all my interfaces for our VMWare environment but beyond that I use vCenter to do all the monitoring and just have vCenter send the alerts (snmp traps) through IPMonitor so all of our alert emails come from one place (which is IPMonitor). IPMonitor is not a good/in-depth virtual environment monitoring solution so probably wouldnt expect too much out of it in terms of monitoring the virtual environment.
