Hello Seamus,

The error implies the connection timed out, there could be multiple factors. I have a few questions to understand the issue further:

1) Do you receive the SSL certificate alert to accept?

2) Can you please check if the Skyline Collector and vCenter/PSC time are in Sync.

3) Is the vCenter and Collector on the same LAN or connected over WAN?

If you still experiencing the issue after verifying the above points, please share your details on the below link:

This is a vCenter server not Horizon View  unless the issues could be the same?
