Hi Peter,
It looks like you enabled the unix agent module globally instead of per device. That's ok, I do it too, but then you need to turn it off on specific hosts. You can do this in the settings tab, module section.
For most intents and purposes, as far as I know, VMWare still belongs in the unix host group.

Back in the bad old days, esx was run on a version of RedHat Linux (RHEL). Now they run their own kernel.
During discovery, i noticed that the unix agent was trying to be contacted and also has (unix). Reasonably sure VMware won't support it. Your native VM detection and polling is sufficient anyway.
