This template allows you to monitor a standalone ESXi host without any kind of host discovery that is required by zabbix official vmware template. The template is the same as Template Virt VMware Hypervisor but with all {HOST.HOST} variables replaced by {$UUID} If you have not already done so, you need to activate zabbix server vmware polling in your zabbix server configuration file (/etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf). StartVMwareCollectors should be set to a value depending on the number of host you wish to monitor: servicenum < StartVMwareCollectors < (servicenum * 2) where servicenum is the number of VMware services. If you wish to monitor 1 ESXi host, set StartVMwareCollectors to 2. Import this template to your templates inventory. Create an host for your ESXi hypervisor. You don't need any agent/ipmi/snmp interfaces. Link the host to this template. Creates 4 macros : {$URL} -> https://esxi.hostname/sdk {$USERNAME} -> any esxi user that have at least readonly access (recommended for obvious security reason) {$PASSWORD} -> the user's password {$UUID} -> esxi host UUID *How to obtain ESXi UUID* 0. You need to enable MOB vib as esxcli does not seems to provide the valid uuid for this. 1. enable MOB vib using one of these methods : * Using vsphere client : Go to you're vsphere Advanced Settings, Config, Hostagent, plugins, solo, check "Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob" * Using esxi console : `vim-cmd hostsvc/advopt/update Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob bool true` * Using Powercli : `Get-VMHost #IPADDRESS | Set-VMHostAdvancedConfiguration -Name Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob -Value True` 2. Browse to https://esxi.hostname/mob/?moid=ha-host&doPath=hardware.systemInfo 3. disable MOB vib again : * Using vsphere client : uncheck Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob * Using esxi console : `vim-cmd hostsvc/advopt/update Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob bool false` * Using Powercli : `Get-VMHost #IPADDRESS | Set-VMHostAdvancedConfiguration -Name Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob -Value False`
