Detected VM in the VMWare intergration doesnt choose de correct IP Address
Hello everyone,
To be honnest I don't know in which topic i should talk about this, anyway here is the thing.
In our project we have 2 ESXi hypervisors with some VMs on them and I have installed the VMWare integration on my Zabbix server. I've configured the hypervisors hosts to detect all the VMs present and it works perfectly.
However i have 1 problem with 1 VM. It looks like the integration select the very first IP address in the general informations about the VM, but this IP address is a "cluster address" and it is not possible for me to interract with it. The zabbix agent and server cannot communicate with each other neither.
This is not a network problem, I just want the selected ip address to be X.X.8.22 but the field is grayed out and I can't change it. I know I can create the host on my own, but I wonder if we can trick it? Let me know what you think.
Personally, I believe it is linked to the order of the network cards directly on the machine, but I wonder if there's a hidden option in the VMWare integration (because i can fix it on windows but this is not why i make this topic).
Thanks for your time and here are a few screenshots to illustrate what I'm saying, have a nice day!

As you see from pics, vmware discovery chooses the first ipv4 address (nr 2 in list) in that list to be used, but "should" use second one (nr 4 in list) ... and nothing changes if your ESX is v6 enabled or not...
