VM Status for VMHost Timeout

I finally was able to find time to move our Nagios XI from the CentOS6 to CentOS7 OVA. I did a backup of the 6.x OVA and installed the 7.x OVA and restored and everything at first appeared to look great. I installed the VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-6.7.0-8156551.x86_64.tar.gz to get VMware working but since then, everything checking all of VMware is getting a timeout.

Nagios XI version: 5.7.3
Install Type: Vmware OVA on ESXi 6.7
OS: CentOS7
Misc: No special configuration, stock OVA install

I did check the ESXi servers and port 443 is open, this is the same configuration that was working less than an hour ago on the 6.x OVA installation. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thank you

See the Installing VMware SDK section in this doc:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf
Important: There have been some issues with SDK 6.7. We recommend downloading SDK 6.5 instead.

Thank you. There's something all this about reading a manual, which I should have done better.

I'm going to redeploy the OVA to keep it all clean and download 6.5 of the SDK.

Thank you
