Zabbix vmware template autodiscovery not working

[gelny]

Hello everyone,
I am using Zabbix server 5.0.8 (revision d3c78f993a) and I followed this tutorial to start monitoring our ESXi hypervisor (version 6.7.0 Update 3). I think connection between zabbix server and hypervisor works fine, because I am able to see some last values (see attachement). But even after 3 days I still don't see any values about datastore, VMs etc. What could be the problem? Is it ok, if ESXi credentials are read only? Thank's for your help.

I had similar issues and had to download official template from the Zabbix share...

https://share.zabbix.com/official-templates/zabbix-components

After that I modified the Macro for the vSphere/ESXi with the information for...

{$PASSWORD} = yourStrongPassword
{$URL} = https://IP_OR_FQDN/sdk
{$USERNAME} = DOMAIN\username / or [email protected] - does not matter/

I figure this out because with the newest release for Zabbix everything was working fine (I followed the same tutorial) but for version 4.0 LTS I was not able to get all the data, that's why I tried different solutions and this worked for me.

I also tweaked the template and it can be found on Github https://github.com/UWillC/zabbix
