We have enabled vSphere DPM and now I'm trying to get the Standby status of the ESXi hosts for our Zabbix monitoring.
Via the REST API I can get the connection_state and power_state via /api/vcenter/host.
But when I query a host that is in Standby and therefor offline and disconnected I only get this answer:
{
"error_type": "INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR",
"messages": [
{
"args": [
"com.vmware.vcenter.host.summary",
"connection_state",
"NOT_RESPONDING",
"power_state"
],
"default_message": "Structure com.vmware.vcenter.host.summary has a union constraint with tag 'connection_state' of value 'NOT_RESPONDING', for which the field 'power_state' is not allowed to be set.",
"id": "vapi.data.structure.union.extra"
}
]
}
Is there a way I can get the Standby state and differentiate against hosts that are actually down because of a problem?
