Hi glad to be able to use your helper

I am currently experiencing a problem can help solve it?

Some error is displayed when you start

"Unhandled python exception in init callback: IndexError: list index out of range"

Thank you!!

Same here, after fixing SmartConnect to not do Cert Checking.

BTW, I am on ESXI Free as this might be the cause (no performance manager in a non vSphere environment?)

python run-test.py

collectd [INFO]: configure_callback: Loaded config: name=test, host=192.168.0.179, port=80, verbose=True, username=root, password=******, host_metrics=3, vm_metrics=2, inventory_refresh_interval=600

same problem @ipsecguy have you solved this problem??

No, I guess my python and ESXi skills are limited...

Hey, I had the same error. I tried to query the ESXi Host directly, but he needs a valid vSphere Center host.

Hi there, sorry for my late response. Do you have the "System.View" privilege for accessing the historicalInterval in the PerformanceManger? An administration user account should have the access. May the "Modify historical intervals" privilege could help as well.
