Confused about setting up ESX host monitoring

[BlueKnight]

From the guide I see the following instructions:

Setup

1. Compile zabbix server with required options (--with-libxml2 and --with-libcurl)
2. Set the StartVMwareCollectors option in Zabbix server configuration file to 1 or more
3. Create a new host
4. Set the host macros (on host or template level) required for VMware authentication:

When creating the new host, an interface type needs to be selected. Normally I run Zabbix Agents on everything. Am I supposed to be installing an agent on the ESX hosts/vSphere server?

Not for these instructions. This host is used for VMware discovery, it is the URL to "vCenter". It will then find the hosts and VM's.
