Vmware monitoring Performance counter is not available

[s.halin]

Hello all,

I have got trouble monitoring my vmware virtuals machines. The item about disk management are in "not supported" state because "Performance counter is not available"

Here is the related key:
vmware.vm.vfs.dev.write[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},scsi0:0,ops]

Could anybody help me?

Thanks in advance

I have this also. Datastores are all discovered, read/write latency items are created and work, but datastore size and utilisation items all become Not Supported.
VMware ESXi 6.5.0 build-8294253
Zabbix 3.4
This is just three ESXi servers monitored through one specific proxy. All others work fine. If I change one host to not use the proxy, it immediately starts working. Proxy has 4 collectors which according to 'top' spend most of their time idle, so I assume that means I have enough of them.
