VCSA - Strange site... assets.contentstack.io

Virgo77 · ‎11-14-2022

Hi there,

I was wondering about a strange thing about VCSA... I use a firewall log and I can see that the VCSA is frequently querying this website: assets.contentstack.io

It's always around 300 / 400 requests a day.

I tried to get informations about this "asset" website, and I didn't get any concrete informations about this site.

So my questions are:

- What is this website?
- Why VCSA is querying this one? And what for?

As I'm paranoid about safety, I blocked this website. So now, I don't want VCSA to request it anymore. Is it possible? Maybe a packet I can uninstall?

Thanks a lot for your advices

I have reported your post to the moderators, since it needs moving to the area for vCenter Server.

This seems t be related to the VMware Cloud Provider Services Plugin. You could try deleting that plugin if you don't need it and see what happens?

Disabling the plugin doesnt help. Removing the plugin solved the 'issue' for me.

Thanks!
