Discover VMware VM add ip address to "agent Interfaces"

[mikesjn]

Hi,
Just trying 2.2.2 and like the VM discovery, the only thing is I am having trouble with additional monitoring, I would like to add an IP address or Hostname to the Agent Interfaces and/or IPMI for additional monitoring on each of the discovered VM's. I have messed around with some macros, but got nowhere other than it putting the macro into the Address or DNS Name boxes. Any Ideas?
Many Thanks
Mike

Im having the same problem here, I would like to add additional templates to discovered VMs.

For the moment, I must create 2 hosts in zabbix for the same server to monitor!! One with the template "Template Virt VMware Guest", and one with the template "Template OS Windows". This is so messy !!!

Bump, does someone have a solution for this?

Solution

Hello friends,

I discovered a way to monitor the zimbra agent of vms found by discover vmware.

Follow the steps below:

- Set as recommended discover
- Install the agents on computers configured to listen on port 10051, but not start yet.

- In the main host VMware or Vcenter in zabbix, add all of the VMs IP and DNS and port.

E.x: 172.16.1.6 vm01.domain.com 10051


- Associate the Template "template app zabbix agent" in the template "template Virt VMware Guest"


For the zabbix find the agent, do the following.


1 - Set the default agent for the IP of the VM you want to monitor "is just click the vmware host and there is where you configure the agent and choose the standard agent"

2 - Delete the VM you want to monitor the list automatically discovery

3 - Wait for it be recorded again.

4 - Make sure the agent of IP is that it filled the ip you "when you're offline give to check the ip passing the mouse over"

5 - If the IP is correct, just start the agent that VM and leave as automatic


To set up another Vms, follow step 1-5 for each VM that you want to set.


Good luck to all.
