    Vcenter vSphere monitoring with Zabbix

    I set up a Zabbix 6.4 server on Ubuntu and made a new host to monitor our VMware vCenter Server 8, following this instruction here -> VMware Monitoring with Zabbix: ESXi, vCenter, VMs (vSphere) (bestmonitoringtools.com) . All seems to work fine, I see VMware version, full name and event log at latest data, but thats all what I can see, no clusters, no virtual machines, just name, version and event log.
    As a host template I used VMware.
    Do I need to add something more to see clusters, virtual machins etc. ? ​

      No. Check your discovery statuses. That first template should do all the discovery and create hosts for VM-s and acquire all the cluster data etc.. The page you linked, explains very well, how things work there...

      And you do not need any macro called {$VMWARE.HV.UUID}​....

        Hmm, I used the VMware FQDN template when I set mine up.. I thought that was the newer/current recommended VMware template. It worked out pretty well, although I haven't tried connecting it to vCenter 8 yet (I'm on Zabbix v6.2.9, connected to vCenter v7U3).
