We have created a user account who needs to run API call on the Vcenter to gather metrics data across all the Vcenter inventory.We validated the output of the API calls which were generated as .json files.
We were getting the below error in the API output.Could you please help us to fix the issue.

args": [],
"default_message": "Invalid data points filter: found empty set of Counters for provided set of (cid,metric,types,resources)",
"localized": "Invalid data points filter: found empty set of Counters for provided set of (cid,metric,types,resources)",
"id": "com.vmware.vstats.data_points_invalid_counter_filter"

Hi @ appsysadmin,

What is the API used and parameters passed? And what is the vCenter version?
