Zabbix and monitoring VMware environment

[e.fazenda]

Dear Zabbix Team,

Hope you will be able to help me with my issue.

Description of the issue :

I want to monitor VMware environment (Vmware 6.7) with Zabbix LTS 5.0, but unfortunattely i can' get this working.


Environment :

• Zabbix Server 5.0.5
• Operating System : CentOS Linux release 8.2.2004 (Core)
• VMware vCenter : 6.7.0.42300 Build : 15808844
• SSO VMware vsphere.local
• Zabbix User VMware created with Read-Only role.

Error on Zabbix Server Logs :

1978360:20201126:163258.597 In vmware_service_update() 'vsphere.local\zabbix'@'https://xxxxxxx:443/sdk'

My zabbix_server.conf

### Option: StartVMwareCollectors
# Number of pre-forked vmware collector instances.
# StartVMwareCollectors=0
StartVMwareCollectors=5
### Option: VMwareFrequency
# How often Zabbix will connect to VMware service to obtain a new data.
# VMwareFrequency=60
### Option: VMwarePerfFrequency
# How often Zabbix will connect to VMware service to obtain performance data.
# VMwarePerfFrequency=60
### Option: VMwareCacheSize
# Size of VMware cache, in bytes.
# Shared memory size for storing VMware data.
# Only used if VMware collectors are started.
# VMwareCacheSize=8M
VMwareCacheSize=64M
### Option: VMwareTimeout
# Specifies how many seconds vmware collector waits for response from VMware service.
# VMwareTimeout=10

• I have created an HOST with Agent interface with the IP of my vCenter
• Applied the template : Template VM VMware
• Define the following macro on HOST
  • {$VMWARE.URL}
  • {$VMWARE.USERNAME}
  • {$VMWARE.PASSWORD} of type "Secret Text"

But unfortunatly the imposible to have this working.
Do you have an idea on what could be wrong ?
