    VMware Guests are not discovered (VMware vCenter, Zabbix 3.0)

    Hi,

    I did a clean install of Zabbix 3.0 on CentOS 7 64-Bit from RPM to test VMware guest discovery.

    I adjusted the zabbix_server.conf as following:

    Code:
    StartVMwareCollectors=2
VMwareFrequency=60
VMwarePerfFrequency=60
VMwareCacheSize=2G
VMwareTimeout=30

    I added 2 different vCenter installations as outlined in the current documentation:

    - Create a host
    - Link template "Template Virt VMware" to it
    - Set host macro for $URL (https://<fqdn>/sdk), $USERNAME and $PASSWORD

    After increasing the log level for the VMware collector (zabbix_server -R log_level_increase="vmware collector") I can see that there's a successful authentication and discovery ongoing:

    Code:
     9047:20160219:212415.259 In vmware_service_update_perf() domain\username@https://<fqdn>/sdk
  9047:20160219:212415.259 In vmware_service_authenticate() 'domain\username'@'https://<fqdn>/sdk'
  9047:20160219:212415.485 End of vmware_service_authenticate():SUCCEED

    Code:

    The web interface does only show the zabbix server itself and both vCenter hosts.
    I cannot see anything happening in the inventory or in the MySQL database.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
