[tbollig]

I have zabbix 2.2 appliance. I am trying to monitor vcenter with a vcenter template downloaded from the forum. I have pearl sks on the Vcenter server I have added the macros for username password and url in the vcenter template. I have also update the zabbix server config for VM monitoring. My issues is I receive and connection refused error iin zabbix on the host and a red Z. Any suggestions would ne awesome.

Thanks for you help/

Proably the user you've specified is not allowed for monitoring access?

Thanks for your reply. I am actually using the admin account. Is there something I am not understanding about the account needed for monitoring vcenter? The admin account should have access.

Thanks again

I took your advice and created a Read Only user for the DataCenter. I deleted the host from zabbix. I recreated it with the new macros and also updated the macros on the vcenter template. WIll wait to see what happens

This link was an easy fix for that. Reboot after the install of packages.

Then as mentioned the creation of a read only CIM account
