2： Instructions on configuring document parameters . The following words are given by the official documents . My understanding is only StartVMwareCollectors

Is a must , Others can be written or not . It doesn't matter if you test this with a virtual machine like me , The production environment still needs to be configured , In especial StartVMwareCollectors Value

 The following profile options can be used to adjust virtual machine monitoring ：

StartVMwareCollectors -  Preset  vmware collector  Number of instances .
 This value depends on what you want to monitor  VMware  The number of services . in the majority of cases , This should be ：
servicenum < StartVMwareCollectors < (servicenum * 2)
 among servicenum  yes  VMware  The number of services . for example , If there is  1  One to monitor  VMware  service ,
 Please put  StartVMwareCollectors  Set to  2, If you have  3  individual  VMware  service , Please set it to  5.
 Please note that , in the majority of cases , This value should not be less than  2, Nor should it be greater than the monitored  VMware  Number of services  2  times . in addition ,
 This value also depends on your  VMware  Environment size and  VMwareFrequency  and  VMwarePerfFrequency 
 Configuration parameters （ See below ）.

VMwareCacheSize

VMwareFrequency

VMwarePerfFrequency

VMwareTimeout

3: Now start editing zabbix Server configuration file .

vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

4： Add the following information to the configuration file .

StartVMwareCollectors=5
VMwareCacheSize=160M
VMwareFrequency=60
VMwareTimeout=20

5： restart zabbix service . Come here zabbix The end configuration is completed .

systemctl restart zabbix-server

6: Explanation of some problems . Some people say they want to check zabbix Of log File view you VMware monitoring whether yes. There are also commands that take values , To be safe in vCenter Create a read-only user on . I will introduce all these methods , But my virtual machine is always yes, You can get the value every time , It doesn't matter whether you do it or not . Read only users can create one if required by the production environment , After the establishment, you can ensure that this read-only user logs in .（6 To 12 You can take a look without taking steps .）

7： see zabbix Of log journal .

cat /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log

8: stay zabbix The server takes values with commands . ${vCenter IP} Change to yourself vCenter Of IP. return 500 that will do .

curl -i -k --data "" https://${vCenter IP}/sdk

9： Change ESXI host Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob The value of is true.

10： establish vCenter Read only users . land vCenter Click menu , stay Single Sign On The selected field in is vsphere.local, A new user zabbix.

11: stay vCenter In Chinese, it means zabbix The user grants read-only permission . Click permissions , spot + No .

13： land zabbix Add host . Host name , Fill in the visible name casually , Templates can be selected vmware, Groups can be created , The most critical step is Interfaces Select client ,IP The address is vCenter Of IP Address port should be selected 10050. I think this port is the biggest hole that many people choose 80 perhaps 443 I don't know how they succeeded . Anyway, I choose 10050 That's how it works .

14： Add macro . To add three parameters {$VMWARE.PASSWORD},{$VMWARE.URL},{$VMWARE.USERNAME} The corresponding value can be filled in according to the actual situation . I don't use read-only users here , Use the management account . Here's one zabbix Tips , You can click T, And then choose Secret text Click Add and no one will see vCenter The password of the administrator account .

15： The waiting time is a little long , Monitoring information will appear . You'll find that vCenter Has been monitored , And automatically put two ESXI The host of is also found . I installed a rooftop ESXI The host , And installed vCenter.

16： Click on The latest data can see the monitoring information .

17： Problem specification  

1） stay 15 In step ZBX It's always gray. I don't know the reason , I began to think this was related to monitoring Linux and Windows The host will also turn green , But it has never changed . I haven't seen a green screenshot after looking for it for a long time .

2） The default time for waiting seems to be 1 Hours , But because of my ZBX It's gray. I thought I'd put it here if I didn't succeed , Click the latest data the next day to find the content , So I'm not sure how long to wait .

The friend knows the above two questions , Please let .

18：zabbix Monitoring I think the biggest hole is to fill in the port 10050, I don't know what else to fill in 80 perhaps 443 How to succeed , The default port of the client is 10050,SNMP The default port is 161, Unless you change the default port .

19： summary

Actually monitoring vCenter Just five steps , Change zabbix The configuration file for the server （ Reference resources 3-5 Step ）, stay zabbix Add a host to （ Reference resources 13-14 Step ）.
