Hi guys,

in System Messages I have the records, periodically generated "Job error: Audit VMs #<Thread:0xa15380> can't convert nil into String"

In my logs I have these lines:

What Appvolumes does is check if the database information is still correct with the actual situation. It just does a call to the VCenter then to confirm the information in the database.

It seem as if the information is not in sync. I would suggest raising a ticket with VMWare to check and see the reasoning behind it. What verion of Appvolumes are you using btw??

[Matrix_1970]

Hi Ray,

thank you very much. My AppVolumes ver. is 2.11

Best regards

Okay. The older version of Appvolumes (I believe version older than 2.10) still from time to time had this issue. It should be resolved in 2.11.

As said, I would raise a call with VMWare. .

Hi,

I have upgraded to 2.11, but the error still persists. I have found this file, audit_vms_job.rb that I think is the script/job that AppVolumes uses, but is protected.

Anyone can help me? Thank you@
