Veeam: Veeam Monitor Free Edition 4.0

Veeam has released "Veeam Monitor 4.0 Free Edition for VMware", a free monitoring tool for ESXi hosts.

The Veeam Monitor Free Edition is an easy-to-use VMware monitoring solution designed to meet the day-to-day needs of VMware administrators who need real-time performance monitoring and alerting. Built from the ground up specifically for the virtual world, Veeam Monitor provides a bird's-eye view of key performance metrics across your virtual ESXi infrastructure.

With Veeam Monitor, you can view real-time resource usage data for any virtual infrastructure object or collection of objects, as well as known infrastructure events, all on a single screen. This allows you to finally see your virtual infrastructure as a unified entity, not just a collection of isolated hosts and guests.

There are some limitations, but it is sufficient for monitoring and managing my ESXi hosts. I do not have VirtualCenter servers for my branch ESXi systems, and Veeam Monitor Free Edition will cover my needs for now.
