How often does the data displayed on the Hardware Status tab of the vSphere Client update?
In the upper right-hand corner it indicates the last time it was updated and there is the option to manually force a refresh. But there does not seem to be a consistent frequency at which vCenter is polling for the hardware status data. On some of our servers it appears to be every few hours, others whole days can pass before a refresh.
Is there an option in the vCenter configuration to change the default polling frequency? We would like the data to be updated in parallel to our external monitoring systems (Nagios).
