  • 1.  Erratic performance statistics

    Posted Nov 30, 2006 03:52 PM

    I've had this problem for quite a while now. Virtual Center seems to periodically drop performance statistics. I would show another example where it dropped several days, but when I installed the upgrade yesterday I apparently selected a bad option along the way and reinitialized my database.

    NTP is configured correctly and my Hosts and VC are synced to the same NTP source. When I examine the clocks they are to all appearances exactly in sync. The timezones are also in sync, and other databases on the SQL Server holding the data don't drop records w/o a good reason. Tech support has taken a couple stabs at this w/o much success. Any ideas?

    There are a number of topics about this issue. One of them can be found here[/url] (long topic).

    There are also some issues with stat rollups causing some database issues (sizing), though at this point I haven't worked through getting those fixed. It was thought this problem was fixed in 2.0.1 but it wasn't.

    I suspect a rollup issue, and I have had an SR open since August. Do you see 5 or 6 days of data disappear in the weekly or monthly views as well?

    Yes, I did. I suspect when they fix yours they'll fix mine as well.

    It's kind of difficult to make plans when the data does that. Management also gives the "fish eye" to charts that look like those.

    Most recent Virtual Center service pack fixed my issue.

    Unfortunately it did not fix mine. I had to re-open the SR today :smileysad:

    Is anyone else still seeing this after patch 2?
