Troubleshoot the Splunk Add-on for vCenter Logs

The Splunk Add-on for vCenter Logs isn't receiving data

Problem

The Splunk Add-on for vCenter Logs isn't receiving data.

Cause

If you've configured vCenter Server 5.0 but no data is coming in, the vCenter Server 5.0 and 5.1 are missing WSDL files that are required for Splunk Add-on for VMware to make API calls to vCenter server.

Solution

Resolve this issue by installing the missing VMware WSDL files as documented in the vSphere Web Services SDK WSDL workaround in the VMware documentation.

• reflect-message.xsd
• reflect-types.xsd

Note that the program data folder is typically a hidden folder.
