Adding a VM in vsphere to Monitoring Platform
Hi Experts,
I need advice on adding VMs to the monitoring tool (zenoss).
This current system was already present before i got in the company, and was given the task of adding the VMs to our monitoring tool.
Problem is that the VMs are inside an vsphere setup and i am unable to ping from the zenoss server to the vms, but the vms are able to ping back to the server. so i am guessing that is behind a nat network.
any idea on how I can add this to the monitoring tool?
Thanks in advance EE!

Thanks! I completely forgot about the windows firewall. I'm so used to be able to ping linux nodes allowing icmp echo by default.
VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
