VMware Calculated Items

[Maverick1980]

Hello,

maybe it will help someone.

At the moment i am testing zabbix with vmware.
There are some missing items. So i configured some new calculated items.

CPU Total Ghz of VMware Host
Key: vmware.hv.hw.cpu.total[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]
Formula: last("vmware.hv.hw.cpu.num[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]")*last("vmware.hv.hw.cpu.freq[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]")
Type of information: Numeric (unsigned)
Units: Hz

CPU Usage percent of Total
Key: vmware.hv.hw.cpu.total.percent[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]
100*last("vmware.hv.cpu.usage[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]")/last("vmware.hv.hw.cpu.total[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]")
Type of information: Numeric (float)
Units: %

how to

how can i show value that receive from key on map ?

Hi, can I use those formulas on VMWare_Guest_Template??

Hi
@nakunakujung :
you can use as follows to show value on map,
Also cna change last(0) to avg(5)
ETH Out : {{HOST.HOST}:ifOutOctets["Link Aggregation Management Network on switch: vSwitch0, load balancing algorithm: source port id hash"].last(0)}
ETH In : {{HOST.HOST}:ifInOctets["Link Aggregation Management Network on switch: vSwitch0, load balancing algorithm: source port id hash"].last(0)}
Ballooned MEM : {{HOST.HOST}:vmware.hv.memory.size.ballooned[{$URL},{$UUID}].last(0)}
CPU usage : {{HOST.HOST}:vmware.hv.cpu.usage[{$URL},{$UUID}].last(0)}

@FabrizioA :
VMWare_Guest key value is like
ex: vmware.vm.cpu.usage[{$URL},{$UUID}]
U can find it at

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/config/items/itemtypes/simple_checks/vmware_keys

Thanks for your reply huangyingja.

Hi, just a quick guess, can you recheck the quotes in your formula? I got similar errors when my quotes were not correctly set. So be sure to quote the item keys that are in the last() parameters, just like shown above.

Still valid. Thank you.

You can accomplish the same with one item:

( ( last("vmware.hv.cpu.usage[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]", "0") / last("vmware.hv.hw.cpu.freq[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]", "0") )
* last("vmware.hv.hw.cpu.threads[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]", "0") ) * 0.1

I'm starting to check Zabbix and what it can do. I would like to monitor some 500 network devices (est. 400 NVPS) through SNMP.
I am planning to deploy Zabbix Proxies alongside the Zabbix server and I am wondering how I can make it highly available? MyBPCreditcard
