What the Guest SDK Contains
The Guest and HA Application Monitoring SDK is available as a tarball for Linux or a ZIP file for Windows. Both have a similar directory structure, shown in Components of the SDK, with minor differences for compilation.
| Directory or Folder | Explanation of Contents |
|---|---|
| bin/bin32 or
bin/win32
bin/bin64 or bin/win64 |
Contains the vmware-appmonitor program, which controls the HA application monitoring heartbeat from the command line. |
| docs/ | Contains the Guest SDK terms and conditions, and text of related Open Source licenses. Also contains sample code for HA application monitoring. |
| docs/VMGuestAppMonitor/
samples/C or samples/visualstudio samples/java |
The samples/C subdirectory (or samples/visualstudio subfolder) contains the sample.c (or appmon.cpp) program to demonstrate HA application monitoring API. Follow instructions in the README file to compile with make or with Visual Studio. The samples/java directory contains a Java native interface (JNI) implementation that builds on the C implementation. Again, see the README file. |
| include/ | Header files for basic types, GuestAppMonitor and Guest libraries, and session ID. |
| include/vmGuestLibTest.c | Sample C program to run all the Guest library functions and return statistics. On Linux, use gcc to compile this program, and run it on an ESXi hosted virtual machine. |
| lib/lib32 or
lib/win32
lib/lib64 or lib/win64 |
Shared objects or DLL files and libraries for the Guest library, the Guest library for Java, and the HA application monitoring library. |
