 Description   

Steps to reproduce:

After upgrading from zabbix 4.0 to 5.0.3 my vmware monitoring stopped working. My vmware version is 4.1.

Result:

On logs I found this response from vsphere SOAP response:

<soapenv:Fault>
 <faultcode>ServerFaultCode</faultcode>
 <faultstring></faultstring>
 <detail>
 <InvalidPropertyFault
 xmlns="urn:vim25" xsi:type="InvalidProperty">
 <name>host[&quot;host-547&quot;].mountInfo.mounted</name>
 </InvalidPropertyFault>
 </detail>
</soapenv:Fault>

Then I looked for vmware docs and found this: https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/da47f910-60ac-438b-8b9b-6122f4d14524/16b7274a-bf8b-4b4c-a05e-746f2aa93c8c/doc/vim.host.MountInfo.html

There it says that "mountInfo.mounted" is available since vSphere API 5.0.

Zabbix docs says: The minimum required VMware vCenter or vSphere version is 4.1. (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/vm_monitoring)

On my lab, removing only this property at the request made it work OK again.

 

Expected:
See screenshot....

In case of vmware 4.x support is required, please use the patch ZBX-18379-vmware4.patch
