first of all, tanks for this program, it's a life saver.

the vmbix works fine on ESX discovery, however he doesn't discovery all virtual machines in my vcenter. is there anything that i forgot?

Hi, Can you discover your VMs with :

zabbix_get -s vmbix_ip -p vmbix_port -k vm.discovery[*]

and check /var/log/messages ? Do you see errors ? Is it better if you set useuuid=true in /etc/vmbix/vmbix.conf and restart the daemon ?

i try something different, i change the name of the VM's, then, they where discovered as expected. it appear that vmbix won't create some VM's with certain character, like ")" or "-"

is there a something that i can do about it?

Do you mean the python script included with vmbix ? Or do you use stock Zabbix LLD discovery with host prototypes ?
