Http connection issues to esxi

[Ammu440]

Hi all,

I am having issues to esxi host when trying to connect via monitoring server, I saw the ports 5989 & 5988 are open on esxi hosts. But when i try to connect to esxi host, i have http timeout issues. Please suggest.

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pywbem/_cim_http.py", line 494, in wbem_request
timeout=(HTTP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, conn.timeout))
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 577, in post
return self.request('POST', url, data=data, json=json, **kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 529, in request
resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 645, in send
r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 450, in send
timeout=timeout

the question is - what timeout settings are specified in your esxi. Maybe you need to make them last longer

Hostclientsessiontimeout by default is set to 900seconds

Which credentials are you using to login to ESXi from Monitoring? 

I would suggest to create a dedicated user for this. Not ESXi root.
