# Testing using GOVCSIM.
To test the vsphere module without a real Vmware SDK URL you can use the following setup. Govcsim is a vCenter Server and ESXi API based simulator written using govmomi. It creates a vCenter Server model with a datacenter, hosts, cluster, resource pools, networks and a datastore.
Requirements:
- golang 1.7+ installed on a system
- git installed on a system
1. Set the GOPATH where govcsim will be installed
```
export GOPATH=/directory/code
```
2. Install Govcsim
```
go get -u github.com/vmware/vic/cmd/vcsim
```
3. Run Govcsim
```
$GOPATH/bin/vcsim
```
Now setup your metricbeat config to connect to Govcsim:
```
- module: vsphere
metricsets:
- datastore
- host
- virtualmachine
enabled: true
period: 5s
hosts: ["https://127.0.0.1:8989/sdk"]
username: "user"
password: "pass"
insecure: true
```
