virtual machines view is empty

[vita2]

hello tom,

thanks for helping me out with #4. now i've initialized the connection to my esxi host. it is an small esxi 5.5 system on a Dell PowerEdge T110 II.

in icingaweb2 i can see some objects like the host systems and resource pools. unfortunately there aren't any virtual machines. i can see 14 vms in the object table in my database so i guess they will synced. only the assignment to the host system will not work.

the first time i started the daemon i've spotted a error message regarding the soap client:

i suspect you won't support such kind of old esxi systems but i would like to know if it is a compatibility issue or rather a bug.

Your Environment

• Director version (System - About): master
• vSphereDB version: 0218e75
• Icinga Web 2 version and modules (System - About): 2.5.3
• Icinga 2 version (icinga2 --version): r2.8.4-1
• Operating System and version: Debian Jessie 8.10 (3.16.0-5-amd64)
• Webserver, PHP versions: Apache2 2.4.10-10+deb8u + PHP 5.6.33-0+deb8u1

CurlLoader.php has debugRequest and debugResponse. Please change the hard-coded if (true) { to false and try again. I'm interested in the full response, guess I'm asking for a property 5.5 doesn't know about, but I'd really love to support 5.5....

[vita2]

thanks for your response, tom. i have changed both lines in CurlLoader.php for the full debug output. in cause of some sensible data included in the debug output i will send you the log per mail in the next minutes.

[Thomas-Gelf]

Just for the records, problem was runtime.paused, which isn't available before API v6.0. As I'd really love to support v5.5, I'll look for a nice way to blacklist certain properties based on API version.

[Thomas-Gelf]

I tried to fix this, in case it doesn't work please do not hesitate to reopen this issue.

Cheers,
Thomas
