vShpereDB logged in to ESXi hosts but not getting data

Icinga Modules

The expected behavior

See resource usage and capacity of ESXi hosts.

The actual behavior

I see that the API connections with all configured hosts are fine but I don’t see any data there. The CPU, memory, and storage usage and capacity are all null.

I tried both HTTPS and HTTP protocols. The ESXi’s host agent log shows successful Icinga-vSphereDB/1.3 login:

Logs

I haven’t found anything suspicious in the icinga2.log. The error.log is empty.

I installed everything again, and it works fine. This time with the recently released Icinga DB.

I think that a communication issue between Icinga and the database might have been the reason in June.
