We have make a monitoring/management tool called Versiera. Versiera core is
free and does not require SNMP. It uses host agents (~60kb) that are assigned
digital certs for authentication and encrypted SSL communication. The agents
provide the hardware detection you may be looking for. Versiera has been tested
to work with Xen. More info at http(s)://www.versiera.com

Henning is 100% correct. But there are easier ways to do this, not using
snmp and or ssh from dom-0 -> guest or vice versa, See below.

I've got this : http://dev1.netkinetics.net/xmlpulse/
See xmlpulse.c for the source, the .xml file is a sample output. This is
a little easier to scrape, can be triggered or fetched with small web
servers like lighttpd, and easy to add to. It was inspired by the
popular phpsysinfo script but is written in low level C and only 7k in
size stripped once compiled.
gcc -o /usr/sbin/xmlpulse xmlpulse.c && strip /usr/sbin/xmlpulse to
build it
You can run it (on the guests) via cron, ssh (or your favorite rpc) and
the output is rather easy to parse with php, perl, python or anything
else that deals with xml. Cron is an easy way to do it, just have cron:
xmlpulse > /var/www/htdocs/serverinfo/info.xml every 5 minutes or so.
I hope to get a few hours this month to add some calls to the xenstat
stuff (xml version of xentop) in addition to what's there.. if anyone
else feels inspired go for it.
I have yet to license it, but feel free to treat it as GNU, if its a
major issue I'll license it this weekend.
This *should* give you everything you need.
Best,
