Monitor VMware ESXi 6.5 hosts with Zabbix 3.2.4

[ilfox]

Hi everyone, I am trying to monitor physical hosts running VMware ESXi 6.5 with Zabbix version 3.2.4 by using the built-in template "Template Virt VMware" but I get the error an unsupported version error "Cannot complete login due to an incorrect username or password". I've searched through thick and thin but cannot get it working. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,

Please, show host configuration from Zabbix frontend. Have you set up it like in this article:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/vm_monitoring

I managed to get it working by following this procedure https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-...6-0-monitoring. The only two things are that there is no data for the read and write latency for datastores and that I cannot see where to set triggers for cpu, memory etc.

Hi

To add items and set triggers tune up base VMware template:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/config/templates

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/config/triggers

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/config/items

List of the all supported items you can find on item creation in Zabbix frontend for the Simple check.
