monitoring a esx 3.5

[stage]

I wand to monitor my VMware esx 3.5 with my zabbix but how do I do this,
On the forums I have found several notes over RHEL3 and RHEL4 but on de zabbix site I can’t find any of this kind.

What can I do and where can I find it.

What do you mean??

I don’t understand what you mean with zabbix 1.4.6 on Centos 5.2.

There are several deferent zabbix 1.4.6 versions linux and solaris for example.

My feeling says Linux 2.6.x but is my feeling right?

On the link (above) they talk about RHEL3, 4 and 5 where can I find them? (I mean the zabbix agent)

Thanks for your help.

It works

I have found it:
You can use the Linux 2.6.x client for monitoring the VMware esx 3.5, the agentd can be found on the zabbix site

It works for me

There are fiw things you need to do as root user:

Open the ports 10050 and 10051 with the following commands
esxcfg-firewall --openport 10050,tcp,in,zabbix_in
esxcfg-firewall --openport 10051,tcp,out,zabbix_out

you need to create the user zabbix with admin rights.

Create the file zabbix_agentd.conf with content “server=<zabbixserverip>”

Now you can start the agentd
Zabbix_agentd –c zabbix_agentd.conf

Run baby run
