I went through and matched up all of the dependencies in the data queries, exported the template and reimported it and it looks like it is good to go. Thanks Greg Andrew, I’m running 8.7e.

The templates were exported from an 0.8.7f instance, so if you are using the 0.8.7g, that could explain some of it perhaps. I am at VMworld this week, when I return I will re export the templates from the newest version of Cacti. If you have a list of the errors that may prove useful as well. Thanks for reading, Andrew Greg,

I went through and tried to add the other templates that were referenced yet the same happened when I re imported. Is there something I am missing?

I will work on modifying the script and making some templates. Hopefully I can get it posted sometime soon! Thanks for reading, Andrew Manuel,

It is very minimal, so there is no package management or compiler. You may be able to check the main <a href="http://www.busybox.net/" rel="nofollow">busybox project</a> to see if they have add in packages. That being said, it is probably a bad idea to add software. Not only does it complicate your load process (you now have to decompose each ESXi release and add software), but it most likely puts your ESXi in an unsupported state by VMware, and could potentially add in some undesired after effects (changing libraries, etc. could cause ESXi's primary functionality to fail).

One more question I had was about busybox in ESXi 4.1. Is there a way I can upgrade Busybox with more supported commands ??? I need to use tftp client on the ESXi 4.1 Thanks Braga Andrew,
