Abhishek,

I'd be keen to know whether the VM instance is moved to the class - or if there are two separate CIs? I've just referenced my setup and there's no windows server setup in there (though admittedly the environment I have for reference has dedicated ESX hosts). This means all I get is the VM Instance with things like IP, CPU, State - and the ESX Host (from targeting the vCenter, not the host itself).

Are you running VMs on standalone windows hosts?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

I was having a bit different understanding earlier. let me correct this now.

When an VmcreatedEvent occurs, the system is creating record in Vmware virtual machine instance class and later on when a VM schedule which is part of one cloud discovery schedule runs and if that VM schedule has this IP as of of the IPs it is targeting and if it have access to this server, then VM schedule is creating a Windows server class record with all the data.

My query is if there is any way we can initiate this Quick IP discovery which can create record in windows server class(just like how it's creating record as part of VM schedule) while system is parallelly creating VMWare virtual machine instance class record with event collector record data.

Note - the vm-s are running on esx

Hello Abhsihek,

Did you got any solution for your topic. I’m facing with the same issue where i have an event based discovery configured for vcenter and whenever the new VMware virtual machine instance gets created we need the os server ci i.e. windows or Linux should also gets discovered right after the creation of VMware virtual machine instance. Please let me know if you already  have any solution with you.

thanks 

Hi Vishwajeet,

Just like what Sam mentioned above, the Architect from ServiceNow who is working with us also mentioned that there is no OOB functionality that would run the IP discovery for newly created VM at the moment.

In our case, we have few VM schedules in place which runs daily and those will usually discover  and create Windows servers records for the newly created VMS in vcenter virtual machine instance class.

Our ServiceNow Architect suggested to have a Flow in place if needed. hope this answered your query.
