Good Day Everyone!
I'm playing around with VMWare template: https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/vmware
I ran into a very strange behavior of Zabbix today. I had a wrong password set on two of our ESX hosts and the account got locked so I wanted Zabbix to stop trying the checks for a moment. I disabled the hosts but in the ESX log I noticed that Zabbix is still trying to reach them.
First I checked Cache Update Frequency is default at 60 seconds and I also tried "config_cache_reload" but Zabbix kept trying
From zabbix_server.log:
I also checked the database for removed host and it's interface - it wasn't there but still, Zabbix kept trying
After nearly an hour it stopped without any further action from me. Does anyone have a clue why this happened? It would be good to know in case I need to stop any API calls or other checks immediately...
Many thanks in advance
