The “Quick Stats on is not up-to-date” error occurs in VMware vCenter when host statistics fail to refresh. At Bobcares, we assist our customers with several queries on a daily basis as part of our Server Management Services.
Overview
VMware Quick Stats Not Up-to-Date: Fixed
The error message “VMware Quick Stats on is Not Up-To-Date” typically indicates an issue with the VMware vSphere environment, where the Quick Stats feature, used to display real-time performance metrics of virtual machines and hosts, is unable to retrieve or update data properly. This can happen due to outdated or inconsistent data within the vCenter Server or ESXi hosts, network connectivity issues, or even a bug in the vSphere environment. Quick Stats rely on synchronization between the vCenter Server and the ESXi hosts, so any disruption in communication can lead to this error. To resolve the issue, we can try restarting the vSphere Web Client service, verifying network connectivity between the vCenter Server and ESXi hosts, or updating to the latest version of VMware tools and patches.
