Is virtual machine monitoring with zabbix package instead of zabbix source?

[Akansha123]

Hi all,

Is virtual machine monitoring with zabbix package possible instead of zabbix source? In zabbix document it is written that for virtual machine monitoring zabbix should be compiled with (--with-libxml2 and --with-libcurl). Zabbix is installed in my system as zabbix package instead of zabbix source. So, How can I compile with zabbix package with libxml2 and libcurl.

Packages that have been published by Zabbix LLC has enabled monitoring for VMware.
You can check the message that is output to the zabbix_server.log of Zabbix server startup.

  2897:20160815:130223.058 VMware monitoring:         YES

VMware monitoring not enabled in zabbix version 3.0.4 rc1

Thanks Atsushi

Below is my zabbix version :-
zabbix 3.0.4 rc1

In the config file of zabbix only SNMP Monitoring is enabled (YES) and VMware is not. How can I enable it in this zabbix package.

I have also checked with ldd command but there is no o/p.
ldd /usr/sbin/zabbix_server | grep -E 'xml|curl'.

Is there anyway to use the same package for VMware monitoring?

You can not VMware monitoring with a package that is not built at the time of compilation.

What is the OS that you have been used?

If you use RHEL 7, Debian 8(jessie) or Ubuntu 14.04(Trusty),
Please try use official packages.
