Vmware ESX - Gaps in Performance Charts
Hello,
A few days ago I had a ESX host, where all it's VM's where displaying about 6 - 5min gaps in the performance charts over a 2 and a half hour period. By gaps I am referring to the instance where there was a absence of data recorded on the Line Graphs (no line in the line graph).
During one of these gaps, one of your web server had issues at the same time.
Wondering if anyone might have ran into the issue before.

How's the uptime for each guest OS?
ASKER
If I understand your question correctly I believe all guest OS's where up and running for the whole time. There where about 6 gaps and every VM on the ESX host displayed these characterisitics so I think I would have notice a larger proportion of our information systems going crazy.
However I will go and double check as I can understand how that would explain the gaps.
If that was it, then why where they dropping out so frequently ?
I will be back

There where 2 points there.
The first I understand and I dont believe that to be the case.
The second point I think may be the problem but I dont complete understand it. I relates to an issue with a time difference between the vCenter Server and the ESX Host ??? I think we did have a issue with the ESX host having the incorrect time and this may have been noticed and fix at around this time.
Either way I think it explains the "gaps" - The vSphere Client overview performance charts use zeroes to denote missing data samples.
