Vmware issue : blank in graph

[Lennyroquai]

Hi everyone,

My Infra :

I'm using Zabbix 2.2.5, (brand new fresh install).
I'm already monitoring many things : Linux, Windows, Switch using SNMP... and VMware hypervisors. (5.5 update 1, all licenced)

I have 16 hypervisors with 72 Datastores connected. (All vSphere are able to access all the datastore).

I'm using the 3 VMware templates.

My vSphere, VMs and datastore are perfectly discovered (FIY : i've disable the Virtual Machine template, i don't want them to appears in Zabbix)

BUT :

I have "almost" good graph (with some little blanks)


But i also have fully blank graph... where it can't be blank (an hypervisor, with 4 SQL Servers : no read, no write)
In the log, the hypervisor has item "supported" by Zabbix... but it seems empty.

And, i have some error in my server.log

The performance counter "became available" again a few minutes after the error, for the same item.

My server.conf is :

StartVMwareCollectors=40
VMwareFrequency=30
VMwareCacheSize=256M

So, my questions :
- Is my configuration correct, did i miss something ?
- It seams that my Zabbix Server is unable to poll all hypervisors, but instead poll one, get the info... wait... poll another one... etc... resulting in blank in graph.
Is there a way to "boost" this ? something i missed ?
- Is the error message (perfcounter) in the server log : normal ? or you i change something in my config ?

Also "Bonus question" :

When i set one vSphere in Zabbix, the host is created... and another one with the same name (but with the hypervisor template) appears.
Is there a way to merge them ?


Thanks !

Hi Lenny, this looks like a tough one. Any break from this case so far?
