CA UIM Vmware errors log

[Rodrigo Braga]

I've been seeing errors on my vmware probe log. Does anyone know what this error mean and how can I fix it?

My current environment (new install):
UIM v.9.1.0 (SP1)
All Robots 9.1.0
vmware 7.14


Error log:

Thanks for the info.

Currently I have 10 minutes (600 seconds) vcenter interval polling. I will increase it to 15 minutes.

How do I increase the ESX host polling interval?

[Jay Wink]

Rodrigo,

I would not set your poll interval to 15 mins.  In fact, I would set it to 5 mins.  That error is on the vCenter side.  Have your VMware admins research this via a VMware support ticket or a Google search on "vsphere api "querySpec.interval" "   You will see this is an error that many VMware monitoring solutions, to include VMware's own products will throw in a log.

One of the possible solutions is to have them look at this:

In the VMware vSphere Client, connect to the vCenter Server and perform the following steps:

1. In the menu, choose Administration > vCenter Server Settings.

2. In the vCenter Server Settings dialog box, select Statistics.

3. Ensure that the 5 minutes statistics interval (daily) is enabled.
