We've added our new three-node vSphere 6.0 setup to our Zabbix 2.4.5 server, connecting to the vCenter appliance through a 2.4 Zabbix 2.4.5 Proxy.
All ESXi hosts and VMs are discovered correctly and monitoring works, except for most of the items created by the default 'Network device discovery' rule. A few of these items work (a single interface of three out of eight VMs) but all the others turn to 'Not supported' with either 'Timeout was reached' or 'Performance counter instance was not found'.
Relevant bits from the proxy config:
On a VM with two network adapters, the first interface returns correct results (i.e. vmware.vm.net.if.in[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},4000,bps] ), but the second one returns unsupported (i.e. vmware.vm.net.if.in[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},4001,bps] ). The cache is 100% free according to the internal check.
Also occasionally an item on the ESXi node will fail with 'Simple check not supported'.
Any clue as to what's going on? I've read numerous threads on VMware monitoring on the forum but none seem to match our issues.
