Monitoring Vmware W/o Orchestrator

by Nov 11, 2010

Hi folks.

I'm by no means a VMWare pro, so I'm a bit confused and could use some help.

Our VMWare guru isn't running Orchestrator, and won't for the forseeable future.

We have 7 ESXi hosts, 3 VSphere, and 3 VCenter.

How do I go about monitoring these via our uptime 5.2 so that I can also see the vm's themselves without installing an agent on every single instance?

Thanks!
