ESXI 6.5

As found out digging deeper:

This is by design in vSphere 6.0. The vSphere Client 6.0 no longer supports the hardware status plug-in.

Details here:
KB2111416
However there is a workaround/way to enable that functionality.
See this article:
VMWare ESXi 6.5 CIM Data Disabled by Default

And that Sensor is not in the list any more. So looks like vmware has removed it.

Can someone test it on their own environments?

I am also seeing the same issue, ESXi 5.5, 6.0 work with the simple check vmware.hv.sensor.health.state, however it is unsupported in 6.5.
Is there a plan to deprecate/update this check?

I'm having the same issue with Zabbix server 3.2.6 and ESXi 6.5.
All other vmware SDK items are fine, only 'vmware.hv.sensor.health.state' that can't find a value.

I have found the same issue on vCenter 6.5, i would like to know the Zabbix official position about this case.

Thanks

I am seeing a similar problem with Zabbix 4.0 and Vcenter 6.5U3.

Vcenter is able to read the hardware sensors and I can view the sensors via the MOB browser, but Zabbix reports "value not available" for vmware.hv.sensor.health.state.

Hello/

Same think on Zabbix serveur 4.2.8 and Vmware 6.7.0.

Can someone fix this please? Server 4.4.1, VMware 6.5 and 6.7

same problem here with server 4.4.1 and vmware 6.7

same problem here zabbix 4.4.5, vcenter 6.7

can someone help with how to check if this value is available in vcenter 6.7

Having the same problem here. I just switched a vCenter (for testing purposes) to the latest version of the official VMware template (https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/browse/templates/app/vmware) where this item is still part of the latest template version.

I tested two vCenter versions 6.5 and 6.7 and for both versions the item fails.

A statement regarding this  4 year old confirmed bug report would be nice. Or a note in the docs, that it only works vCenter <6.5 or similar.

Description

The problem with the vmware.hv.sensor.health.state is related to the disappearance of "VMware Rollup Health State" vmware sensor possible since approximately v6.5. We have not been able to find any public information about this, except for a note about "Health status monitoring" from "Table 5-3. Deprecated vSphere Alarms (continued)" of vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-703-monitoring-performance-guide.pdf, possibly related to this sensor.

Decision

Therefore, it was decided to change the template and create the vmware.hv.sensor.health.state item through LLD, based on the information from vmware.hv.sensors.get

  Why did you remove 5.4.x from fixed versions?
