Zabbix - Monitor Vmware ESXi

This video will show how to monitor a Vmware ESXi server using Zabbix.
In our example, we will monitor both the ESXi server and its virtual machines.
TUTORIAL: techexpert.tip...
Keep in mind the by default zabbix waits 1 hour to discover the virtual machines and everything set.

How about 4.2?

[@davidsierrafernandez1744]

Is there any way to configure automatically some triggers on the discovered vms or hosts Just to control everytime a disk runs out of free disk space the same way it does installing a zabbix agent in each of them? Than you in advance

[@FrancescoMorosinotto]

Thank you for the tutorial; I'm wondering what port are required for monitoring ESXi: I have a firewall between ESXi and Zabbix, usually only UDP161 and TCP10050/10051and ICMP are allowed; should I allow also other ports and protocols?

In my case, I have to add the URL into security exception for browser (one time). Do I have to take any further step to get it working in zabbix.

Thanks for sharing. I managed the discovery but now I would like to acquire more monitoring for the VM's itself, example by having the template Windows OS checks for each discovered VM.
However that is not possible as each VM acquires the IP address of the ESXi host it is running.
Should you then add separate guest VM's with that template Windows OS? Of course that's a bit dumb as you then have the VM's double.

+mrbbs Thks! Usually, what I do is to monitor the Vmware Host using SNMP and monitor each virtual machine separately installing zabbix agent on each one

[@mrbbs]

+FuckingIT Can you provide more information how you monitor the ESXi hosts with SNMP? I would like to monitor the separate nics from the esxi server. Can you help me with that?

[@dariuszm4490]

What is url?? I connect to ESXi via VMware vSphere Client... On www my server in first interface I have "VMware ESXi
Welcome", on second interface Dell IDRAC... What is URL in my case?

[@FuckingIT]

The URL is always the same, the only thing that changes is the ip address of the vmware esxi server on it. Have a nice day!

[@zaicnupagadi]

Hey FuckingIT, and how to do it when I do not have any supervisor like vCrnter Server and only have few ESXs? When I am reaching the ESX directly? I guess exactly like Sirugudi Rahul does, currently gives me black page.

[@FuckingIT]

ESXi directly.... i don't have a vcenter

try vmbix: bintray.com/dav3860/generic/vmbix

[@yago_souzaa]

Funciona o 5.0 ?

[@swissbuechi]

Does it work?

Вообще не понимаю, зачем рут права давать, вы что ?! Создать пользователя РиД-онли и всё, этого достаточно
