VMwareTimeout 1-300 (60) The maximum number of seconds Zabbix vmware collector proccess will wait for a response from VMware service (ESXi hypervisor or vCenter).Īs you can see in the picture, after the user has created a host (with the appropriate template and macros), Zabbix will start collecting data over the VMware API service (SOAP).

This delay should be set to the least update interval of any VMware monitoring item that uses VMware performance counters. VMwarePerfFrequency 10-86400 (60) Delay in seconds between performance counter statistics retrieval from a single VMware service. This delay should be set to the least update interval of any VMware monitoring item. VMwareFrequency 10-86400 (60) Delay in seconds between data gathering from a single VMware service. Start with 32M and then increase VMware cache size gradually if it is utilized more than 60%.

You can view how much cache is utilized on the graph “ Zabbix cache usage, % used” on the “ Zabbix server” host. VMwareCacheSize 256K-2G (8M) Shared memory size for storing VMware data. In most cases, this value should not be less than 2 and should not be 2 times greater than the number of VMware services that you monitor. Where servicenum is the number of VMware services, for example, if you have 1 VMware service to monitor set StartVMwareCollectors to 2, if you have 3 VMware services, set it to 5. Use this formula to calculated required StartVMwareCollectors: servicenum < StartVMwareCollectors < (servicenum * 2). This value depends on the number of VMware services you are going to monitor. Parameter Range (default) Description StartVMwareCollectors 0-250 (0) Number of pre-forked vmware collector instances.
