zabbix 2.4.4 with esxi 5.1 not working...

[scdickey]

Hi All:

I have zabbix 2.4.4 on ubuntu 14.04 and am trying to monitor vmware esxi 5.1. I have a read-only user account that I can connect to each host with vsphere. I see that the {$URL} and {$USER} and {$PASSWORD} macros are used but those are not created. I assume I need to create them.

I have modified the macros to be called {$VM_USERNAME}, {$VM_PASSWORD} and have updated the {$URL} macro to include the IP address of one of my esxi hosts with the /sdk portion of the path.

I have done all this but am still not getting any data received from the queries of my 3 ESXI hosts.

I get this when checking with curl:
root@uswty-s-mon1:/home/nmsadmin# curl -k -I https://10.66.242.11/sdk
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

Not sure what I am missing here...:

ok, starting from scratch and following instructions I have fixed my initial problem. I am now able to see the discovered hosts. However; I am not sure how to view the CPU/RAM/Disk space statistics for the actual ESXi host itself. I now am getting the data for the discovered virtual machines but not the aggregated data for esxi itself. Any ideas?
