VMware vSphere Update Manager extension

[alexander_d]

Hello community!

I have a VMware vSphere Update Manager 6  installed in my vSphere6 env.

Update manager is working fine and updates hosts, but in WebClient in "System configuration" tab in services health status I observe "VMware vSphere Update Manager extension" in critical status.

When I open it I see following:

I checked the update manager and vpxd logs and found nothing suspicious.

Any idea what might it be?

Can you check in the Task and events ?

The notification doen't have to be related to Update Manager itself. Please check whether there's a new critical patch available.

Patch for VUM or vCenter?

I was thinking of any available critical patches. However, after taking another look at the screenshot I noticed that the State is "Stopped". Maybe that's causing the Health to switch to Critical.

Problem solved after following kb:

Please make sure you fillfulled all FQDN, IP and short dns name in certificate request

My previous certificate did not contain short dns name which  caused my problem.
