Alex, which VM's are you talking about in particular ? Xen, vmware, VirtualPC, etc? If you just want to monitor performance & status - you can treat them like regular servers - nagios or something. But I haven't heard of a tool that would monitor their "performance as VM's" for various architectures.
You can also setup nagios or groundwork or spunk or something to monitor your hosts if you have heterogeneous environment with both vmware and xen.
Could you clarify or expand a little bit?
Based on your comment below:
Ok I see, then the tools I mentioned may work for you. I use GroundWork - it's based on nagios - but in addition has some nicer and more developed graphs and history analysis, than nagios and works with ldap :-) (see monitoringforge.org - both commercial and free - for over 2000 extensions, including some support for xen and vmware).
Also check out splunk ( they have a commmunity version) and there is another interesting tool called Spiceworks. I tried both, but like groundwork more for my needs.
To be honest I think splunk is more of what you are looking for since it's more of a data collector and then you can do what you want with that data - like run reports in mysql or write some nifty web app that draws graphs and such.
P.S.: A word of warning - I run groundwork community version on Debian and still it required a 2.8 ghz dual-core cpu and 4 gigs of ram to run properly, it's kind of a memory hog, but other than that it's been running without a hitch for a year.
VMware monitoring can mean different things. If you are looking to monitor the hypervisor, the built in tools from VMware (vCenter for example) is pretty good. If you want to look into the VMs in-depth or you want to monitor other elements of the infrastructure (e.g., applications), you should consider a third party tool. For instance, we use the eG VMware Monitoring tool - http://www.eginnovations.com/web/vmware.htm

Alex，您特别在谈论哪个虚拟机？ Xen、VMware、VirtualPC 等？如果您只是想监控性能&状态 - 你可以像对待常规服务器一样对待它们 - nagios 之类的。但我还没有听说过有一种工具可以监控各种架构的“虚拟机性能”。
如果您有同时使用 vmware 和 xen 的异构环境，您还可以设置 nagios 或 groundwork 或 spunk 或其他东西来监控您的主机。
您能澄清或扩展一下吗？
根据您下面的评论：
好的，我明白了，那么我提到的工具可能适合您。我使用 GroundWork - 它基于 nagios - 但除此之外还有一些比 nagios 更好、更发达的图表和历史分析，并且与 ldap 一起使用:-)（请参阅monitoringforge.org - 商业和免费 - 超过 2000 个扩展，包括一些支持 xen 和 vmware）。
还可以查看 splunk（他们有社区版本），还有另一个有趣的工具，称为 Spiceworks。我两种都尝试过，但更喜欢基础工作来满足我的需要。
老实说，我认为 splunk 更符合您的需求，因为它更像是一个数据收集器，然后您可以对这些数据执行您想要的操作 - 例如在 mysql 中运行报告或编写一些漂亮的 Web 应用程序来绘制图表等。
附：
警告一句 - 我在 Debian 上运行基础社区版本，但它仍然需要 2.8 ghz 双核 cpu 和 4 GB 内存才能正常运行，它有点占用内存，但除此之外，它一直运行顺利一年。

您可能想看看“BMC ProactiveNet”。
相当昂贵，但他们有一些监视 VMWare 虚拟机的东西（不确定您是否可以获得试用版或其他东西）

You might want to look at "BMC ProactiveNet".
Pretty expensive but they have some stuff that monitors the VMWare VMs (not sure if you can get a trial or something)

VMware 监控可能有不同的含义。如果您希望监控虚拟机管理程序，VMware 的内置工具（例如 vCenter）非常好。如果您想要深入研究虚拟机或者想要监控基础设施的其他元素（例如应用程序），您应该考虑使用第三方工具。例如，我们使用 eG VMware 监控工具 - http://www.eginnovations.com/web/ vmware.htm
