Discovery VMware - no IP address , no OS and no host name of a VM

[skhan]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out a way to get IP address, Operating system and Host name of a Virtual Instance in discovery. Currently these three items are not included in discovery of virtual instance. 

I tried the following process but was not successful. We have London patch 6 version.

Orchestration vmware support plugin - IP address

I added the following in VCenterSensor which is under System Definition > Script Include > line 456

'guest.ipAddress',
'guest.os',
'guest.hostname',

I added the following in VMWarevCenterProbe which is under MID Server > Script Include > line 252

'guest.ipAddress' : 'ip_address',
'guest.os' : 'os',
'guest.hostname' : 'hostname',

I would really appreciate if someone can help me.

Thank You

Hi skhan,

You should update the 'fixupVM' method in the VMsSensor. 

vm.<attribute name of ip_address from cmdb_ci_vmware_instance> = vm.<value from probe>

Check if you the attributes that you need to populate exists in your table 'cmdb_ci_vmware_instance' / cmdb_ci_vm_instance

Please check and let me know. Hope this helps?

Thanks Valarmathi,

I tried updating it but it didnt do anything. I ended submitting enhancement request for this to Service now. Waiting on it. Hopefully it can be added quickly, since it is really important.
