The scripts should be installed into your Hobbit server ext directory.

There are a number of hardcoded variables, first the Xymon/Hobbit server in both perl 
scripts and then the vmware root password, also in both perl scripts.

The following changes are needed to your server configuration files.
You may need to change the hobbitserver.cfg reference if you run a newer Xymon than I.

Add this to hobbitgraphs.cfg/graphs.cfg

Add vmwareperf and vmwarevms to GRAPHS in hobbitserver.cfg/xymonserver.cfg

Add this to hobbit-launch.cfg/tasks.cfg, one for ESXi servers and another for ESX servers

[esxi]
        ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/vmtest_esxi.sh
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/esxi.log
        INTERVAL 10m
[esx]
        ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/vmtest_esx.sh
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/esx.log
        INTERVAL 10m
        
And finally in your bb-hosts (esxi4 or esxi5 depending on the version)
10.10.10.10	VMHOST	# vmware
10.10.10.50	VMHOST	# esxi
