Add VM Name for Virtualization Overhead and get error "missing name argument"
Description

After adding the VM Name to the Windows Server properties in Connection Manager for Virtualization Overhead, Spotlight throws the error:
Virtualization Overhead
Overhead Percent
The following error occurred while collecting data
missing name argument [Error Code: 13].
Table: Virtual Machine Usage
Occurred: M/DD/YYY HH:MM:SS AM
Resolution

Spotlight 11.5 is stricter on the VM Name parameter than past versions of Spotlight.
For example, if the Spotlight Windows connection is "alvspotlight2015" but the VCenter has the actual name "alvspotlgiht2015 (2012)," the actaul name shown in VCenter must be entered in.
Please Check the VCenter to verify the actual name as it appears there.
