VMware: Quick stats on “hostname” is not up-to-date

Today I received some warnings at my new installed vSphere 5.5 hosts, the warning message:

Configuration issues. "Quick stats on hostname is not up-to-date"

Solution:

This is a known issue in vCenter Server 5.5.

To work around this issue, add these quickStats parameters to the Advanced Settings of the vCenter Server:

• vpxd.quickStats.HostStatsCheck
• vpxd.quickStats.ConfigIssues

Note: Adding these parameters to the vCenter Server will not affect future upgrades.

To add the quickStats parameters to the Advanced Settings of the vCenter Server:

1. In the vSphere Web Client, navigate to the vCenter Server instance.
2. Select the Manage tab.
3. Select Settings > Advanced Settings.
4. Click Edit.
5. In the Key field, enter this key: vpxd.quickStats.HostStatsCheck
6. In the Value field, enter: False
7. Click Add.
8. In the Key field, enter this key: vpxd.quickStats.ConfigIssues
9. In the Value field, enter: False
10. . Click Add.
11. . Click OK.
12. . Restart the vCenter Server service.
