Hi,

After updating to the latest version I see this in the log:

Hi, did you enable "VI" collect for this vcenter ?

[ttmader]

Yes.

The statistics seem to work but that error appears.

[rschitz]

what the vi log says?

[ttmader]

Yes, VI log

[rschitz]

can you share what the VI log says? This is the inventory log.

[ttmader]

I just went in to check the log and those errors no longer appear. I've restarted it several times with no errors.

Seems like it just needed time after the update.

Thanks a lot for everything!

strange but ok, if it appears again we'll dig into it. thanks for reporting
