VMware Monitoring - Would greatly appreciate some help.

[serenity]

I recently moved from cacti to zabbix, because of the vmware monitoring features being implemented into zabbix. I very much like zabbix, but, I'm having some issues monitoring vsphere/vcenter.

I've added the hosts, with appropriate templates, and user/password/link variables set. All vms / hypervisors are populated on the hosts configuration page, and I can see many things being collected on the latest data page. But, when I go to graphs, there is no hypervisor category and the hypervisor, nor the vms are available for graphs. Under latest data and I can view some hypervisor related graphs, but none of the data is anywhere to be found on the actual graphs page.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I've been troubleshooting for nearly two days and have read every page google has given me with the words zabbix and vmware. Thanks for any help.

Alrighty then...........




All I want to do is log and be able to see all the traffic going in or out of an ethernet port on each ESXi server on a pretty graph...... Might just need to move back to cacti and use SNMP.
