Hey guys,
I noticed that @nary mentioned that he has a vSphere 7.x instance. Unfortunately
I don’t have one to test, so I can’t say how the special agent behaves with this version,
and whether it should or shouldn’t return all performance data, as Andreas mentioned.
The highest vSphere version I have is 6.7.
Unless I’m doing something terribly wrong:
In order to get all monitoring data I want, including performance data (CPU/RAM usage) of the ESXi host(s) in question, I have to monitor both: the vCenter, and the hypervisor(s). Additionally, this is the only way I see to get the “Hardware Sensors”, the “Maintenance Mode” and the “Overall State” services for each ESXi host.
