Hey all there!
Recently I tried to test a new Zabbix 2.1.7. The reason was the ability to monitor Vmware vSphere, which I have a lot in my inventory (version 5.0 to be exact). So I added my vCenter server to Zabbix incentory, provided needed credentials like login, pass and URL (https://vcenter/sdk), hypervisor discovery just went ok, a lot of stuff was added like datastore latencies, cpu, memory and network utilization and many others (each for every single hypervisor and VM), BUT... as far as time was going these items became to dissapear and appear in a random order. Records appeared like this in the Zabbix-server log:

I understand that this is only a beta, but this is really interestingm what could possibly be a reason?
here is my configuration touching Vmware in zabbix_server.conf:
StartVMwareCollectors=50
VMwareFrequency=60
VMwareCacheSize=128M
