[Feature Request] Add Host Hardware Information

[pryorda]

From @hmmxp on February 1, 2018 0:4

Dear All,

Some Suggestion:

Is it possible to include the VMware Host Information Like:

• ESxi Version, Build
• Server Manufacturer
• Server Model
• Server Service Tag
• CPU Cores
• Processor Type
• VMware Host Physical Network Adapter Transmit Traffic
• VMware Host Physical Network Adapter Receive Traffic
• VMware Host Physical Network Adapter Errors
• VMware Host Physical Network Adapter Dropped Packets

Copied from original issue: rverchere/vmware_exporter#24

Hi, when this feature will be added ?
and have you add "disk status", "battery status" on Hardware information ?
thanks.

I don't think this should be used to pull that information, unless its already exposed via a metric of some sort. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

As of 2021, we have:

vmware_host_hardware_info{ hardware_cpu_model="Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6148 CPU @ 2.40GHz", hardware_model="ThinkSystem SR850 -[...]-"} 1

vmware_host_product_info{build="15018017", version="6.7.0"} 1

vmware_host_num_cpu{} 80

vmware_host_net_usage_average{} 9015
vmware_host_net_bytesRx_average{} 6470
vmware_host_net_bytesTx_average{} 2545
vmware_host_net_droppedRx_summation{} 0
vmware_host_net_droppedTx_summation{} 0
vmware_host_net_errorsRx_summation{} 0
vmware_host_net_errorsTx_summation{} 0

As far as i can tell, the only missing metric is the Server Service Tag, which seems to be systemInfo.otherIdentifyingInfo, see also this discussion about power-cli.

maybe it's time to close this issue and open more specific one about Service Tag
