vPoller - the VMware vSphere Distributed Pollers version 0.2.9 is available.
vPoller allows you to monitor a VMware vSphere environment with Zabbix. It supports many polling methods and comes with Zabbix templates to get you started monitoring your VMware vSphere environment.
This version comes with new polling methods, bug fixes and new features.
In order to get started simply install vPoller and follow the instructions from the documentation in order to start monitoring your VMware environment.
The Zabbix templates come with autodiscovery, so once you add a VMware vCenter server to Zabbix and attach the vPoller templates all your Virtual Machines, ESXi hosts and Datastores will be discovered and under Zabbix monitoring.
If you want more control over your virtual assets you could also import all vSphere Objects in Zabbix as regular hosts and monitor them this way. This gives you more control over each host in Zabbix and overcomes some of the issues introduced by the Zabbix LLD discovery.
That way you can actually update any discovered vSphere Object (VM, ESXi host, Datastore) and perform updates on it - add it your custom groups, attach more templates, etc.
You can find vPoller at the Github repo here:
* https://github.com/dnaeon/py-vpoller
And for importing your vSphere Objects as regular Zabbix hosts you can use the `zabbix-vsphere-import` tool:
* https://github.com/dnaeon/py-vpoller...vsphere-import
Hope you find it useful!
