Hi Community,
I’m working on extending ServiceNow’s OOTB VMware vCenter Discovery to retrieve vSphere Custom Attributes.
As documented, the standard probes (VMWarevCenterVMsProbe, Datacenters, etc.) only collect standard VM inventory/properties and do not query the CustomFieldsManager API to retrieve custom attributes fields.
Has anyone already deployed a working solution to fetch VMware Custom Attributes during Discovery?
Are there shared probe/sensor extensions, MID Server scripts, or KB articles you can point me to?
Appreciate any input!
