Monitor vCenter Cluster memory total

[bdobson]

Running Zabbix 6.4.13

I am very surprised there's no built-in check / trigger for the total cluster memory. I have a VMware cluster in Google and need to be able to alert on the total memory which you can see in the vCenter login but all I can get from the templates from what I can find is the memory from the individual nodes.

If Zabbix is getting its information from the SDK I assume this information would be available somehow.

Am I just missing something obvious on how to get that kind of data?

Okay here's an update I have managed, at one point, to get it to using "vmware.cluster.property" and believe I have one which I'll share for TotalMemory and free. Originally they were updating the UI, but now it's been 30m and no update despite turning on debugging I believe this means the check worked, but why is not not showing up in the UI?

The check is setup with a 1m interval on a Simple Check

I cannot figure out atm why it wont update this in the UI if it appears that it worked?
