Hi 

I have had a problem with centreon updates for some time. My version is 24.10.8. The problem is in the vmware infrastructure monitoring plugin. Previously (based on the centreon_vmware.pm file) everything worked fine. After updates (from several versions within 24.10) the centreon_vmware service does not want to start. When I change the option to old in the /etc/default/centreon_vmware file and restore the centreon_vmware.pm file, everything returns to normal.

Here is the configuration and logs after updates (the last one to 24.10.8), which do not work well.

My instance: Centreon 24.10.8, Debian 12.

+OPTIONS="--config-extra=/etc/centreon/centreon_vmware.json --logfile=/var/log/centreon/centreon_vmware.log --severity=info"

I have entries in the logs

$ sudo tail -f /var/log/centreon/centreon_vmware.log 

r2025-03-28 09:09:40] 4error] 'drc' SOAP request error - possibly a protocol issue: Server closed connection without sending any data back at /usr/share/perl5/Net/HTTP/Methods.pm line 397.

Do you have any ideas what happened? As I wrote earlier, returning to the centreon_vmware.pm file solves the problem, but I still see these entries in the logs, but I can monitor the datastore
