What is vmwVmMemSize?

The amount of memory configured for this virtual machine, in megabytes; a configured value larger than Integer32's max is reported capped at the max Integer32 value rather than overflowing, something an admin should be aware of when polling very large-memory VMs.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.2.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB::vmwVmMemSize

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.2.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB::vmwVmMemSize.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> vmwVmMemSize.1
