    Don't find information what use VMware ESXi 6.5 with ZABBIX 4.0 (Appliance)

    Hello,
    we are using CentOS 7.5 and Ubuntu 16.04 with ZABBIX 4.0 (Appliance).
    we want to add HPE Simplivity (ESXi 6.5) 12 Nodes from ZABBIX 4.0
    So we have been search how to use VMware ESXi 6.5 With ZABBIX 4.0.
    we have been searching for most websites. But we couldn't find it.

    I want to add host(ESXi 6.5) Using SNMP, Items, and Templates

    I wanna get CPU/Memory/Network Usage, and etc.

    If anyone know this, Please Advise to me.

    Thanks to Subscriptions for yours
    From Alex

    Not exactly want you need, but this might help get you up and running...

    I'm running the Zabbix 5.2.4 Appliance on ESXi 6.7.0 update 3. I downloaded the appliance, I then found it won't run as is on ESXi.

    So I installed it on VMware Workstation Pro, configured the ip address, then shut it down then from VMware Workstation I connected to the ESXi server and uploaded the Zabbix appliance. Once uploaded to the server, it has the correct disk config to run, but the Network adapter will have to be set to your VM Network settings, also note that it's guest OS setting is 'other' by default, so I changed that to CentOS 8 before powering on. At this point i's currently running on 4 cores, 4Gb memory and a 10GB disk - which are the settings that came in the appliance.

    Getting Zabbix to monitor ESXi I'd suggest having a look at https://bestmonitoringtools.com/vmwa...er-vm-vsphere/ - again they suggest using Zabbix 5.x


    Hope this helps.

      I confirm, I tried it on esxi 5.5 it doesn't work, I tried it on esxi 6.5 it doesn't work, I tried it on esxi 6.7 u3 works!
