What is memCOS?
Reports how much physical memory the ESX Console OS (service console) is consuming, in kilobytes, memory that's unavailable to virtual machines and worth watching if console-side tools are memory-hungry.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.2.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-RESOURCES-MIB::memCOS
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.2.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-RESOURCES-MIB::memCOS.1
