Hi there,

From our experience these warnings are transmitted by the CIM services from the target deivce. Mostly the reason is that the CIM service does not receive information from the drivers. Some updates of the vCenter change the internal way how the vendor specific drivers (Dell, HP...) communicate with the vCenter via CIM. I would ask you to set in the Settings of the sensor the option to ignore these warnings. This option is available since our version 20.1.57.xxx

Kind regards
