Monitoring temp of ESXI

[pfo]

Hi everyone,

I have an ESXI HP PROLIANT ML350 GEN8 with vmware v 6.0.0 and another one DELL POwerEdge R740xd with vmware V8.0.0.

In a DELL esxi i have install the server zabbix(zabbix appliance-6.0.0) in a vm.

I would like to monitor a couple of esxi, im trying to use the zabbix agent to collect multiple data sensor like temperature, cpu load and availability of disk.

For the moment i can collect the data of of my dell esxi with a ssh connection with this command line

esxcli hardware ipmi sdr list

But the goal for long terme it's to close ssh connecton and only use zabbix agent or snmp/impi.

For the moment im trying to use zabbix agent i have transfer the zabbix agent on mi esxi hp with SCP, next i have uncompressed the file, i have modify the file zabbix_agentd.conf with ip of zabbix server etc

But when i try this final command

.sbin/zabbix_agentd

to install i have this error "Segmentation Fault"

I know it will be more easier to install the agent directly in a vm on the esxi, but how i can collect temperature data of the esxi if the agent is in a vm ?

Thanks for all reply

Hi

Have you managed to figure this out? I am looking to achieve the same outcome. I have a ton of linux and windows vms on my esxi 8 host but want to get the ipmi stats and SMART stats directly from the host in to Zabbix.
