With the right VMware drivers that info should be available in esxi, which I believe prtg can monitor directly right?

With the right VMware drivers that info should be available in esxi, which I believe prtg can monitor directly right?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Need to monitor hardware alerts/failures. (memory/hard drives/RAID/Heat/NICs)<br />
<br />
Have multiple servers running either VMWARE ESX or XenServer to virtualize our Windws Servers.<br />
We run PRTG for monitoring.<br />
PRTG has the module to monitor the HP server hardware but requires HP SIM to be installed.<br />

HP documentation says to install it on the Windows Server...but I have nothing but Virtual Machines; none are physical<br />
<br />
Googling hasn't turned up any good results. So here I am asking away...<br />
<br />
I'm lost to be honest on how to accomplish the goal. Any pointers would be appreciated.

HP Proliant Server Monitor (SNMP/SIM)

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
