Cause
The vapi-endpoint service sees that there is the registration in Lookup Service and tries to connect to http://localhost:8920.nsxd which returns 404 page not found. This error sets the health status of the service to yellow because it does not have connection to one of its vapi providers.
Resolution
This issue is resolved in vCenter Server 7.0 Update 1, available at VMware Downloads.
Workaround
This Warning message can be safely ignored, if immediate upgrade to vCenter Server 7.0 U1 is not possible.
