Hello Eric,

Thanks for your inquiry, we appreciate your contact regarding the matter!

If I understand you correctly, the VM is running, but displayed "shut down" in PRTG. There is sometimes a small bug in VMware, where the API returns the wrong status. Please try to restart the VM, the corresponding host machine or the management agent with the following KB-Article: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003490

Please let me know, if that solved your issue.

Kind regards,
Birk Guttmann, Tech Support Team
