When using the vmware probe to configure static monitors for certain checkpoints on specific vmware workstations residing on your vcenter, you might get the error that "the monitor <monitorname >can not be configured on <workstation>"

is relevant for all current versions of the vmware probe
 

This is currently by design, all configured static monitors are being evaluated on each run of the profile regardless of their status and then generate an alarm if they fail. If you deactivate the monitor, you are not receiving an alarm if the related threshold has been breached.  
It can happen that you are no longer seeing the inactive monitor on the GUI. In that case, you would need to manually remove the non-working monitor from the configuration file.
