I am attempting to use check_esx_wbmem.py to monitor VMware's esxi (free) server. You need to add the PYWbem library to do so. As root, I downloaded pywbem-0.7.0.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywbem/files/.
I then ran the script as root and it worked successfully.
Then I created a template in Zenoss, and added the script in the datasource tab and tested it. This is the result.

From the Python website, I found this explanation:
PYUnicodeUCS2_Decode == The only way to solve this problem is to use extension modules compiled with a Python binary built using the same size for Unicode characters.
So, as a novice in Python, etc. I'm confused as to why it works as root, but when run as Zenoss it craps out. I can only assume that zenoss's pyexpat.so was compiled with an interpreter where unicode was set to ucs2. How do I get my python script to compile with ucs2 and not ucs4?
Thanks in advance.
