Another day, another Python project: vEvents - an application that allows you to view and monitor VMware vSphere Events from the command-line.

In this post we will see how we can export data from a VMware vSphere environment from the command-line and then plot some nice graphs of it, because everybody loves graphs, right? :)

I’ve been a Zabbix user for quite some time already, but one thing that Zabbix lacked for a long time is the ability to monitor VMware vSphere environment.

In a previous post we have seen how we can use Zabbix with vPoller working together in order to perform monitoring of our VMware vSphere environment.

Some time ago I’ve been testing the security of groklearning.com - a platform for online education using Python.

In this post we will see how we can use the Python vSphere API bindings in order to login to a VMware Virtual Machine and run some commands.

The v0.2.0 release of vPoller comes with a lot of new features, bug fixes and lots of new methods for discovery and collecting of vSphere Object properties!

As a sysadmin I often have the need to get information about an environment quickly and efficiently. I am sure that most of the fellow sysadmins out there also automate their daily tasks in some form of scripts and tools, which make their life easier.

Some time ago, I’ve started a project with educational purposes called the UNIX/Linux Wargames.

I’ve been an owner of an Arduino board for some time already, but until very recently I didn’t really find some time to play with it.
