Hi,
Is it possible to install the agent without running the service with administrator privileges? I would like to use the agent solely for performance monitoring and to retrieve basic information.
Alternatively, is there a way to isolate the agent and make the whole setup more secure?
This might also be of interest to others who have critical systems and policies.
thanks
Andrea
ok i will try
thanks
Hi, i saw on release notes that from the latest versions it is possible to monitor VMware via the vCenter SDK, but I cannot find any documentation on it.

i check the installation and i found that smtp channel is missing and the channel create before was set as dbtable
how can is possible?
i have compilded the source as old server, missing some library on new server?

Hi,
it's possible create a node and DCI imported from external source like influxdb? Since netxms still doesn't support the api to vcenter through SDK, i want to configure influx and than import the metrics on netxms.
it's possible?
thanks
Andrea
@victor said in vmgr.nsm connection to VMware vCenter server:
Actually we already decided that we have to move from libvirt to direct interaction with VMWare API (as we already did for XEN) - it's just question of available time and resources.
Best regards,
Victor
hi, with version 3.3 is possible use vmware api? if yes where i can find documentation?
thanks
Andrea
Hi, i can't find an explanation about real function to the sample count for average value on DCI general tab.
For example, i need to monitor disk latency by windows perfcount. I know that windows has 1 second sample of this counter and i want to retrieve average value about 60 seconds. So i need to put 60 as value and than the agent collect every second the perfcount value and tell me the average of these 60 samples?
thank you for clarification.
Andrea
thank you, it works.
cheers
Andrea

thanks
Andrea
