 Description   

Running Zabbix 6.0.5 on Debian Bullseye

I am trying to monitor a VMware vCenter (version 7.0.2) by using the embedded VMware template.

I configured the vcenter as suggested and the system was able to discover and collect almost all data, including the HV list, datastores with metrics etc.

Unfortunately for guests I only get a list but not detailed data, instead I get the error "URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL"

I already checked the following posts

but I couldnt fix my problem.

I am using the IP address to monitor the vCenter and the login data are shown below

They are correct because discovery rules can collect most of data.

Any idea?

TIA

Finally I realized that I have to provide the MACRO values for all the vmware-related templates: vcenter, hypervisors, guests.

Once provided everything magically became supported

I hope this mught help anybody in the future to save some time in setting up this.
