Hi, I am quite new to Zabbix but i have managed to find nearly all my answers in documentation and forums. Currently i am in a testing mode to see if Zabbix fits my needs - and it does more than what i initially needed / expected.
Thanks for that, Zabbix devs! All the hosts i set up untill now are monitored perfectly. I had some itches and scratched them untill they worked. I am having issues though - and i have tried about anything i could find in docs and forums. I am running the appliance version of Zabbix 3.0 on Ubuntu server.
So i need to monitor a single instance of a VMware ESXi 6.0 server. I've set up 4 different hosts pointing to the ESXi server - all with different tempates linked to it.I tried to install the Zabbix agent on it - failed due to no /proc/stat available on it. Found that in the forums as well.I set up SNMP on the ESXi host. The 'Template SNMP OS ESXi' collects no data and no graphs become available (Allthough the 'Template SNMP OS Linux' gathers datastore data an available RAM - so in some sort of way SNMP collection seems to work. The host linked to the 'Template virt vmware' has the right macros set up: $URL,$USER and $PASSWORD. All discovery rules and Items in the host show 'Not Supported' -In the 'Template virt VMware hypervisor' template i changed all (HOST.HOST) entry's to $UUID as found in the forums, but same problem: Items show 'Not Supportded'. The error message shows 'Cannot login due to an incorrect user name or password' I am sure that the $USER and $PASSWORD macros are correct in the host's configuration.

I firts tried root as a user to connect to my ESXi host, which had the same problem - so i figured maybe the problem could be that my ESXi host refuses root acces through the sdk url, but I created a new user/password comination and it still doesn't work. FYI: between every change i rebooted the server, just to make sure.
The zabbix-server.log shown no errors, though. What am I missing out here??? Is there someone who might push me in the right direction? Tia, Stefferd.
Yes indeed, i set up the macro's between the brackets - that was filled in right. I just wrote it down the lazy way in this forum, wherefore i excuse myself - thing have to be right ofcourse. Now the funny thing is that i just checked the server and it started collecting data merely more than 24 hours after my last configuration change. So magically it all seems to work now.Now I just wonder why Zabbix had this delay and why it kept on saying that my credentials were wrong. I changed nothing in the configuration anymore after asking help on the forum, and changed nothing on the ESXi server. Thanks for your help, i will try to figure out what exactly has happened here.
Same problem - different server Now i set up another ESXi6 server, and another Zabbix appliance. Both with the same ISO files that I used in the previous setup. I exported the working template from my ESXi server to the new Zabbix installation on the new ESXi server, did the nescessary changes zo the zabbixserver.conf file to make sure VMwarecollectors are starting and created a host with the imported template that works on my other ESXi server. Set the right macro's and configured the host and template well - as it is working on my first setup, and you know what? It states: 'Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password' - exactly the same problem i used to have on my previous server.
I didn't know back then why it suddenly started working and i don't know now why it is not working (waited 48Hrs to see if it would just start - but it doesn't) Does anybody know why VMware monitoring is acting this way? It is really acting funny. Is there something i have to change on my ESXi host? Some firewall exception in the security setup?
Something in the config that I have to change? It's the second time that i am biting my teeth over this issue and i can't figure out something more to do. Tia, Stefferd.
Hi When monitoring vSphere it works on some components and then for some I get the following: 1108:191608.637 cannot update performance statistics of vmware service 'Timeout was reached If I run # curl curl: (60) Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized. More details here: curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a 'bundle' of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file using the -cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL). If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or -insecure) option.
# curl -k # So curl does see it correctly from what I can see It is also a ESXi 6.0/6.5 environment.
