Did you test the CLI command for polling the esxi hosts from the zenoss container (zenhub).
In my case, i had to install many missing libs.

In any case, if you read the most up to date comments on the wiki for that zenpack, you will see that i and another person have removed the hosts for now, since the zenpack produces 5 or more logins each time it polls, which fills up the vcenter/vsphere database pretty badly.

thanks for your reply Rcocchiararo. Yep saw that comment regarding the db bur I am just running this in a lab to test and see if tis should be implemented at a later stage.
This might sound pretty stupid but what is the "CLI command for polling the esxi hosts from the zenoss container " I ll look this up to see if I can found anything but if you can save me some time that would be nice ;)

i did not remember, that's why i did not mention it XD

resxtop --server hostname --user root -b -n 1 -a

Replace "hostname" for the hostname or ip of you esxi host, and "root" for the user you will use (or use root :P )
