Zabbix Vmware No Latest Data, Error: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

[XimingFeng]

Hi,
I am tyring to setup Zabbix server to monitor my vsphere environment.
I followed this tutorial https://bestmonitoringtools.com/vmwa...er-vm-vsphere/

Create a user in the Administrators group. Enable VMWare Collector

StartVMwareCollectors=3
VMwareFrequency=60
VMwarePerfFrequency=60
VMwareCacheSize=32M
VMwareTimeout=120

Next

sudo systemctl restart zabbix-server

Then I added the host (my vcenter server) using the account credential I just created in Macros with template "Template VM VMware"

After long time I am still getting nothing from the latest data and plus in the server log there is "URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL" error

Since the Zabbix 5.0 version, VMware templates are using macros {$VMWARE.URL}, {$VMWARE.USERNAME}, and {$VMWARE.PASSWORD} that are configured on the template “Template VM VMware macros”. Make sure that those macros are configured correctly - more info

It seems that you have wrong configuration for your vSphere/ESXi in the macros section... make sure that you configured URL properly as https://IP_OR_FQDN/sdk

Hello,

See this: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003218

So it should be: https://IP_OR_FQDN/sdk/vimService.wsdl

i have same issue & i detected my reason is template vmware guest (6.4) not automatic add macro value.
You must to complete macros value of this template , i mean you must to check macro value again.
