Support for ESXi Host Monitoring #3136

I can see that in the past there has been hints of support for ESXi or vSphere systems, but all of this mentioned 10 years ago in the project now.

I would love to see glances support for displaying status of an ESXi server, maybe through SNMP (directly), or preferably, with the vSphere API.

Why? I use homepage as a central dashboard. Homepage has a widget for glances with some beautiful graphs, but this only supports connecting directly to a glances instance running in web browser mode. I would love to be able to see my ESXi Host stats directly in my homepage, through the glances widget.

Since you cannot run glances directly on an ESXi Host (this is to be expected, custom OS and all that), its not currently possible. Ideally, glances would gather stats from a vSphere API and publish those stats to the web server by running something like:
glances -w -c <vsphere server IP>

The only alternative I have found for this is running a custom grafana dashboard to monitor ESXi via influxdb / telegraf, which works well, however since its an entirely separate web app to my homepage, its kind of pointless.

Please and thankyou :3
