Can't connect to xxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx:443 (Name or service not known)

Hello!

I have several vCenters connected but one of them is no longer visible and does not connect. I don't know if it's a firewall problem.

I have seen that Sexigraf does not resolve that vCenter by DNS and I have put it in the hosts file and checked connectivity via netcat to 443.

This is the error that appears in the log:

Can you help me?

Thank you.

Hello again,

After modifying the /etc/hosts file and adding the vCenter that does not resolve through DNS and restarting Sexigraf, the entries disappear.

I think if I fix this, the problems will go away.

Thank you.

I guess it's a dns issue then.
the next release will take care of not responding vcenter ;)
