You may be greeted with the following when selecting the “Performance” tab:

Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed

Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed

This is due to a file which hosts all the chart settings (an XML-based key value pair collection) becomes corrupt, and is actually cut off.

Its quite easily found at : c:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\VMware\server_name-charts.xml

From here, you have several choices:

  • revert to a backup
  • delete it
  • clear it (just place <ChartSettings /> inside of it)

That’s all there is to it. Happy vSphere’ing
