New VM tests use ESXi MOB service to retrieve monitoring data.
MOB service is enabled by default on ESXi. You may check if MOB service is started using Browser with URL https://esxi_host_or_ip/mob/
For HostMonitor VM tests you need to specify ESXi host name/IP (optionally port) and ESXi user account credentials using "Connect as" option or Connection Manager (menu Profiles -> Connection Manager..)
E.g.
10.7.100.3
or
10.7.100.3:4435

If MOB service is disabled on your ESXi, you may follow these steps to enable it:
1. Connect directly to the host using the ESXi Shell.
2. Optionally check if the managed object browser (MOB) is enabled by running the following command:
vim-cmd proxysvc/service_list
If MOB service is running, you should see the foloowing line:
serverNamespace = '/mob'
3. Enable MOB service using the following command:
vim-cmd proxysvc/add_np_service "/mob" httpsWithRedirect /var/run/vmware/proxy-mob
