Here is a more specific instruction to get the UUID.
(because some missed options and used the wrong url to get the UUID)

1. Log on to the ESXi server' ui,
2. under the HOST part, click 'manage' and on the tab 'system'> 'advanced settings'
3. find the key 'Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob', select it and click on "edit option" and set it to TRUE.
4. Open your browser go to: https://ipaddressofesxi/mob/?moid=ha...are.systemInfo
5. you will see a table with the uuid inside it. Save the uuid somewhere.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 3, to disable MOB.

An easier solution to get HV.UUID is to call item key vmware.hv.discovery[{$VMWARE.URL}]
The item will return json like :

[
  {
    "{#HV.UUID}": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
    "{#HV.ID}": "ha-host",
    "{#HV.NAME}": "localhost.zabbix.dev",
    "{#HV.IP}": "192.168.6.52",
    "{#DATACENTER.NAME}": "ha-datacenter",
    "{#CLUSTER.NAME}": "",
    "{#PARENT.NAME}": "ha-datacenter",
    "{#PARENT.TYPE}": "Datacenter",
    "{#HV.NETNAME}": "localhost.zabbix.dev",
    "resource_pool": [],
    "tags": []
  }
]​

The value of key {#HV.UUID} is HV UUID that is used for access to HV items
