    vmware item collection flapping

    Hello,
    I'm using zabbix to collect a VCenter using default template. I have the following problem with 4.4 or 5.0 on RedHat

    For the same UUID and for the same DATASTORE,

    Code:
    115432:20200605:062244.310 item "__UUID__:vmware.hv.datastore.read[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},__DATASTORENAME__,latency]" became supported
115432:20200605:064744.186 item "__UUID__:vmware.hv.datastore.read[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},__DATASTORENAME__,latency]" became not supported: Performance counter data is not available.
115431:20200605:065244.665 item "__UUID__:vmware.hv.datastore.read[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},__DATASTORENAME__,latency]" became supported
115433:20200605:072444.806 item "__UUID__:vmware.hv.datastore.read[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},__DATASTORENAME__,latency]" became not supported: Performance counter data is not available.
115434:20200605:073244.339 item "__UUID__:vmware.hv.datastore.read[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},__DATASTORENAME__,latency]" became supported

115433:20200605:083244.950 item "__UUID__:vmware.hv.datastore.read[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},__DATASTORENAME__,latency]" became supported

115432:20200605:091244.561 item "__UUID__:vmware.hv.datastore.read[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},__DATASTORENAME__,latency]" became supported

115431:20200605:115344.946 item "__UUID__:vmware.hv.datastore.read[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},__DATASTORENAME__,latency]" became not supported: Performance counter data is not available.
115433:20200605:121244.254 item "__UUID__:vmware.hv.datastore.read[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},__DATASTORENAME__,latency]" became supported
    Code:
    # egrep -i "^vm|StartVMwareCollectors" /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
StartVMwareCollectors=4
VMwareFrequency=300
VMwarePerfFrequency=300
VMwareCacheSize=1G
VMwareTimeout=30
    I have this problem for a lot of items within this list

    Code:
    vmware.datastore.read
vmware.datastore.write
vmware.hv.datastore.read
vmware.hv.datastore.write
vmware.hv.network.in
vmware.hv.network.out
vmware.vm.cluster.name
vmware.vm.cpu.num
vmware.vm.cpu.ready
vmware.vm.cpu.usage
vmware.vm.datacenter.name
vmware.vm.hv.name
vmware.vm.memory.size
vmware.vm.memory.size.ballooned
vmware.vm.memory.size.compressed
vmware.vm.memory.size.private
vmware.vm.memory.size.shared
vmware.vm.memory.size.swapped
vmware.vm.memory.size.usage.guest
vmware.vm.memory.size.usage.host
vmware.vm.powerstate
vmware.vm.storage.committed
vmware.vm.storage.uncommitted
vmware.vm.storage.unshared
vmware.vm.uptime
    before going deep in the troubleshooting, am I missing something obvious ?
    I couldn't see anything special in the log level 5

    Regards.

          We experienced this with a vcenter that used domain authentication. We then let zabbix log in with a local (vsphere.local) account, this solved it.

              Would you be so kind to share your settings:

              here is mine:
              VMWare

              Code:
              config.vpxd.stats.maxQueryMetrics = -1
              Code:
              egrep -i "^vm|StartVMwareCollectors" /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
### Option: StartVMwareCollectors
StartVMwareCollectors=25
VMwareFrequency=60
VMwarePerfFrequency=60
VMwareCacheSize=256M
VMwareTimeout=60
              And one more question does you perfomance chart in VShpere have gaps?
