vSphereDB GUI (configuration) not loading after upgrade

Hi,

i upgraded our icinga2 infrastructure yesterday. As there were many upgrades it could be possible there are some incompatibilities, but i’m not entirely sure. I read all changelogs and blog posts but i don’t find any reason why it should not work.

I can’t open the vspheredb configuration page (for vcenters and servers in icingaweb 2 after the upgrades, it just loads until a timeout appears. I don’t get any error message besides that. Also the apache2 error log just states a timeout:

[Thu Jul 02 09:18:33.960378 2026] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 210501:tid 210501] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: [client 172.16.108.32:53936] AH01075: Error dispatching request to : (polling)
[Thu Jul 02 09:18:55.383468 2026] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 210503:tid 210503] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: [client 172.16.108.30:62895] AH01075: Error dispatching request to : (polling), referer: https://censored/icingaweb2/icingadb/hosts?host.name_ci~*censored*|host.display_name~*censored*

All other pages from vsphere db are working (hosts, virtual machines, …).

I hope you can point me in the right direction. I’m not sure where to look for other logs.

Thank you!

Kind regards,
