Undefined status for VMWare Datacenter

No you are not doing anything wrong, we spoke with VMWare and this is a defect on their side.  We pull the status from their API.  You would have to ping them on when they plan to address.

We have this problem as well.  I suspected that this was a VMWare thing as it only happens on our 4.1 vCenter and not on the 4.0 vCenter.  Glad to hear that SolarWinds validated with VMWare, thanks for that info Brandon!

Has there been any headway on this issue?  I'm having a problem with vcenter polling.  The credentials that are set up sometimes work and sometimes don't.

any updates on this?  on vCenter 5 and this is still an issue...

Still an issue as of December 2012... ??

I'm still having this issue on vCenter 5.1 (Build: 880146) and ESXi 5.1 (Build: 799733)

Can you post here result of a query bellow to see which statuses is IVIM getting from VMware.

SELECT *

  FROM [SolarWindsOrion].[dbo].[VIM_DataCenters]

Query:

select * from orion.dbo.VIM_DataCenters

(4 row(s) affected)

Results:

I'm currently monitoring 4 vCenter instances with one datacenter in each.

I checked your status values and they are valid. It looks like that it is issue of VMware API or vCenter configuration setting.

How would I tell if it's a vCenter configuration setting?  Based on the attached screenshot, it doesn't appear that it's a vCenter configuration issue within NPM.

Any ideas?
