How to get VMware monitoring to work?

[mkbn]

I am trying to evaluate Zabbix VMware monitoring, and I was hoping there is someone here who can be of assistance.

Zabbix sales department referred me to here after a few unsuccessful attempts to get it to work.

I am running a virtual appliance with a VMware 5.5 environment. 2 hosts 1 vCenter in a VSA setup. More specifically I want to monitor the hardware of each host.

Following are screens of how I have configured it within Zabbix. Perhaps I also need to configure the hosts themselves?

Sorry IMG didn't seem to work. Screens provided as links. Still hoping for some help.

Zabbix_server.conf change

did you change the configuration entry for StartVMwareCollectors on the zabbix server. This change can be made at /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf. After I made that change and did a

service zabbix-server restart

on CentOS it kicked off the vmware discovery on the events.

To tell you the truth it went into overdrive and was using 75% resource load so I am fairly sure this was a setting that worked for me.

Unfortunately I wont be able to try that in 1 weeks time, but I will reply back as soon as I have tried that. Thank you bsdtux.
