A lot of times, objects such as sessions, VMs, users, and pools appear on the dashboards even if they have stopped collecting data from the agents. You can cleanup these objects from the dashboards.

  2. Navigate to /usr/lib/vmwarevcops/user/plugins/inbound/V4V_adapter3/conf/ file and open the v4v.properties file in an editor.
  3. Change the parameter "timeToExpire.UserDesktop=0.0417".
