Deploy VM_INFO Tag to XYMon via Jenkins - Monitor VM-Stats via py-vminfo.py

Jenkins String Variables:

VM = This is the name of the VM that we are gathering VM_Info About. Must be copied from vSphere in Full.
SVR = This is the Hostname of the ESXi VM Server
UNAME = This is the Username that we will use to log into ESXi Server
PWD = This is the PWD for the USERNAME Above
vmip = This is the IP for the host from hosts.cfg which this script will append vm_info to that line and delaypurple
vmshortname = This is the VM's shortname for DNS. AKA W/O domain.com

Notes:

I can't get Server-Side scripts to be called by clientlaunch so I use Cron, actually I use Jenkins Cron, but same idea.

Example :

*/60 * * * * root /usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd "/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/${vmshortname}_vminfo.sh"

Also, this line Below limits the Purpre Reading for 75 Minutes just to give it extra time. This isn't really a "check" so much as a nice way to see the Vm_info in XYMon. The only way this fails is if it gets NO stats. I could grep for something more specific, but I have more specific checks for that, this column is just a nice "overview"

Also provides good intel if you want to see VM_Info during peak hour.

sed -i "/^${vmip}/ s/$/ ${vmshortname}_vminfo delaypurple=vm_info:75/" /etc/xymon/hosts.cfg

The Meat and Potatoes!
