Hi there everyone, we've update all vSphere components to version 5.0 and in the process, we moved the database to a external database server as suggested by the documentation, but a strange thing happened, I'm missing "Realtime" data from performance TAB on datacenter Cluster level.
I get this "timeframe" on host level, but not in datacenter.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Welcome to the forums. Did you recreate the rollup jobs after the move?
Yes sir!
They are up and running:
Also checked the data mentioned in refered article (nice by the way)
Same thing happening to me but not on all hosts... was hoping there would be an answer to this...
Solved my own issue, here's how I did it (for documentation purposes)
- Restarted Web Management Services on the vCenter Server - this should have done it but that didn't work either, same results.
- Restarted Management Network on the problematic ESXi hosts - another good troubleshooting step I thought but this didn't work either.
- Restarted Management Agents on the problematic ESXi hosts - THIS WORKED and resolved the issue, performance graphs got "Realtime" data back.
Only thing I would recommend before doing this last step is maybe disabling Host Monitoring at the cluster-level, as when the management agents are restarted it will freak vCenter out and think that a host failed. None of my VM's went down and the host stayed up of course, just threw lots of alerts in vCenter.
Hope this helps someone!
