VMWare vCenter Polling time stats...

[gleepwurp]

Hi,

does anyone have any hints as to how I could monitor how much time it takes Zabbix to poll a vCenter?

I'm noticing that although I have a VMWarePolling of 60 seconds in the zabbix_server.conf, Zabbix takes about 13 minutes to "see" the value changes from vCenter.

VMWarePolling is set to 60 seconds, and my items are set to 60 Second intervals, and the vCenter Console sees the changes in performance immediately, but Zabbix gets the information about 10-13 minutes later.

At this point, I'm guessing that it takes way more than 60 seconds for Zabbix to download my vCenter contents, but I don't know how long it takes exactly... Is there anywhere I can find this information?

I know I can probably find something by enabling "debug" mode, but I'd like to add this metric in Zabbix without having to enable debug logging mode...

Thanks!

Thanks Ingus!

Do you know if this is in queue for the 2.2.7 release?
