Zabbix Appliance is compiled to support VMWARE monitoring?

[acasari]

According to the docs (version 2.2), zabbix appliance is compiled to support:

SNMP;
IPMI;
Web monitoring;
SSH2;
IPv6.

VMWARE monitoring is supported out the box or I have to recompile with the flags --with-libcurl --with-libxml2 ??

Thanks in advance.

Yes, 2.2 should support vsphere monitoring out of the box.

I have just tried the appliance, (copying the settings that I used in my ubuntu server build [source compiled and detects vmware] and it does not seem to detect the vcenter/hosts.

please reply with how you get on

[steveboyson]

What settings did you copy? The config files? The whole database? The templates?

[nathanb]

oh no, I should have said that i meant the settings (via web ui) of applying the vmware template, macros etc.

I did try and edit the zabbix_server_conf and change the StartVMwareCollectors however after a reboot and trying the web interface i had a red banner saying zabbix server did not load

Check /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log to clarify why your server didn't start.
