Abstract
A management system sends a first request for first data associated with multiple network entities. If the first request times out, the first request is split to create multiple smaller requests and the multiple smaller requests sent, requesting data from a subset of the multiple network entities. Based on responses to the multiple smaller requests, the management system identifies a particular network entity that caused the first request to time out and adds the particular network entity to a set of problematic entities. The management system sends a second request that requests second data from a portion of the multiple network entities that excludes the particular network entity. The multiple network entities may include one or more of a virtual machine (VM), a host node (to host VMs), a storage device, a network link, another type of network entity, or any combination thereof.
