So we got a message from skyline about 4 critical errors. 3 of which were from
one host that has 2 tiny vms on it and using very little CPU ... actually close to 0
and only 18GB out of 500GB memory
EXPORT
Description
The ESXi host has set configuration maximums that are either hard or soft limited. It is important to ensure that a host does not exceed these maximums as the server will fall outside of a supported configuration.

Is this bogus or what ?
Hi Mike,
Welcome to VMware Communities!
I understand that you have 4 Critical findings for your account and one of them is related to Configuration maximums.
The findings for configuration maximums can be triggered for a host of reasons. Considering the fact that the resource utilization on the ESXi host is minimal, we would like to investigate this further.
Please share your account details using the following link to help us investigate this further
Hello Mike,
I have checked the findings and recommendations for your account.
There is no finding related to ESXi configuration maximums. Could you please check the Skyline Advisor and let us know if you still see the finding.
I also get this finding triggered for hosts that have PSOD and are not connected to vCenter.
Hello JPM00
The findings and recommendations which are available on Skyline Advisor are based on the data collected in the previous data cycle.
Data processing happens over a period of 72 hours as well.
If there are new critical findings we would recommend you investigate the issue and wait for one more data processing cycle (72 hours) if you find it to be a false positive.
