I recently migrated to Virtual Distributed Switches. Ever since then, the 'Recent Tasks' section in the vSphere Client on vCenter displays the following message:
Look up portgroup based on portgroup key - target name X
This message is displayed every few seconds and is causing very high CPU utilization on the vCenter Server Appliance (6.7.0.42000). I searched around and was unable to find anything that would tell me the reason this is happening.
The value for the target name varies depending on the portgroup in question.
I only have 2 ESXi servers in the environment:
One server running 6.7.0 - 13981272
One server running 6.5.0 - 13932383
Thanks in advance!
I finally figured out the cause of this issue. I had a plug-in installed on a 3rd party product that connected to VCSA to poll for interface stats. Once I disabled the plug-in, the messages stopped.
I have never seen such messages so I don't think it's normal. What is the user of those tasks? Maybe a script someone is running?
