Credential-less Service Discovery Not Working Post VMTools 13.0.5 Upgrade

Products

• VCF Operations

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading VMware Tools to version 13.0.5, users may observe that the Service Discovery Adapter fails to discover services in credential-less mode.

Prior to the upgrade, credential-less discovery worked as expected.

Post-upgrade, the discovery process either does not initiate or terminates prematurely, resulting in incomplete or missing service data.

Environment

VCF Operations 9.0.x
