In my case, the scheduler is running on Search Head.....
1.when i read the docs, i don't find any configs related to hostvmperf_interval and hostvmperf_expiration in \etc\apps\Splunk_TA_vmware\local., but i'm thinking to put down all the 4 changes(hostvmperf_interval,hostvmperf_expiration,hostinv_interval,hostinv_expiration) in \etc\apps\Splunk_TA_vmware\local adding a [default stanza]
2.did you also change the vCenter timeout value....??
Increase the timeout period in the vpxd file on your vCenter.
Open the vpxd.cfg file, located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\vpxd.cfg file (C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\vpxd.cfg on Windows 2008) using a text editor.
