How to run the VMware ESXi plugin in the docker container? #71

I like to monitor my VMware EXSi server with Nagios. The ESXi plugin require the VMware perl CLI SDK installed. It seems not to be so easy to install this SDK. It starts, that the installer requires lsmod, which is not installed in the container. How is it possible to monitor the ESXi server with Nagios running in docker?
