I need help locating the cause of the error filling up my syslog file. I stoppend sfcb-watchdog for now, but I would be happy if somebody could point me in the right direction to fix the problem.
I'm using the HP customized ESXi Image vSphere 5.5 U1 June 2014
Thx in advance

The errors seem to arising out of HP SMX providers for ESXi. I'd suggest updating the HP System Management software viz. hp-esxi5.5uX-bundle-1.7-13.zip (download for your server model) on your host and see if it fixes the problem.
