Hi all,

I'm getting the following errors in the latest version of the TA (3.3.1). How can I debug this further to provide more information on which host/vm has missing inventory data?

[ta_vmware_collection_worker://zeta:21606] ObjectContent instance has no attribute 'propSet'
Traceback (most recent call last):

    last_version, is_first_version_seen = self.send_inv_data(hierarchyCollector, last_version, session[0], "vmware:inv:vm", sourcename, tempus, dest_index, config, target_config_object)
  File "/var/lib/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_vmware/bin/inventory_handlers.py", line 132, in send_inv_data

You can enable this by changing logging level of the respective worker process in Splunk_TA_vmware/default/inputs.conf. Each worker process has log level defined as follows:

[ta_vmware_collection_worker://alpha]
capabilities = hostvmperf,otherperf,hierarchyinv,hostinv,vminv,clusterinv,datastoreinv,rpinv,task,event
log_level = INFO
disabled = 1
interval = 15
