Hello PaulB2,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

As per the screen shot shared, "The vCenter performance statistics interval Past day which is higher then recommended level which is 1 or 2"

Could you please confirm what is the current vCenter Performance statistics interval is set on your vCenter configuration.

Hello PaulB2​,

Thank you for sharing the screen shots. As per the second screenshot we see that the statistics level is set to Level 4 for 1-day collection for vCenter Server statistics.

As per VMware Best Practices for Performance configure the vCenter statistics level to a setting appropriate for your uses. This setting can range from 1 to 4, but a setting of 1 is recommended for most situations. Higher settings can slow the vCenter Server system. You can also selectively disable statistics rollups for particular collection levels. When you do need higher levels (for interactive debugging, for example), increase the level only temporarily, and set it back to a lower level when done.

Thanks, I've set the stats back to level 1.
