We are having an issue where our OME (v2.0.1.2222) is producing warnings that multiple virtual machines on several of our virtual hosts are detecting a loss in guest heartbeat. An example warning:
Virtual machine detects a loss in guest heartbeat: vmID=3, vmConfigFile=/vmfs/volumes/50eee92f-46efd4ae-c4b1-001018f4dec0/rejsdce/rejsdce.vmx ,vmDisplayName=rejsdce
With each and every warning, 30 seconds later an info alert comes in saying the virtual machine detects or regains the guest heartbeat. An example info alert:
Virtual machine detects or regains the guest heartbeat: vmID=4, vmConfigFile=/vmfs/volumes/50eee92f-46efd4ae-c4b1-001018f4dec0/rejsdce/rejsdce.vmx, vmDisplayName=rejsdce
I'm not sure exactly how long this has been occurring, I was only made aware of it last week, but I know this was not happening 3-4 months ago. We recently updated all our virtual hosts' VMware ESXi from v5.5.0 Update 2 to v5.5.0 Update 3 Patch 81 (build-3343343) Kernel 5.5.0 (x86_64), and are in the process of updating our VMware Tools from v9.4.10, build-2092884 to v9.4.15, build-2827462--though the loss of guest heartbeat warning occurs on both Tools versions.
