Adding ESX to monitoring - no vCenter.

[zaicnupagadi]

Hi All,

I am trying to monitor ESX with our Zabbix 2.4. I am using guides from:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/vm_monitoring

Problem is I do not have vCenter server - have no hypervisor, what I have are just 3 separate ESX hosts.

Is it possible to monitor these hosts with zabbix omitting hypervisor? to have LLD and all that stuff.

Thanks all for help,
Pawel

Dear,

Esx hosts (server) = hypervisors
Virtual machines = guests

So use that guide and point zabbix to your ESX servers (hypervisors).

Have a nice day,
Sergio

Same issue here.
Could somebody provide a step by step guide how to configure monitoring of standalone ESX (if no vCenter is present)?

hi guys

You must first obtain vcenter uuid, and then defined in maco {$url}. {$passwd} {$USERNAME} and other information

If VCenter is not exist, please try to register the ESXi as a host,
and then link the template 'Template Virt VMware'.

And to start the daemon, please do the setting of the host macros.
