Not able to discover vCenter appliance version 6.7

[Santosh Kumar8]

Hi All,

I am looking for a help in setting up vCenter discovery. I am successfully able to discover all resources for vCenter running on windows machines however discovery is not working for vCenters running on appliance (Linux OS) version -vCenter appliance version 6.7 

I have valid credential - vmware credential and also firewall port open (vmapp6_https: 9443) 

Error: <results error="Timeout trying to read from https://xx.xx.xx.xx/sdk" probe_time="31220" result_code="900000"><result error="Timeout trying to read from https://xx.xx.xx.xx/sdk">

to add to jordans check if you put in https://xx.xx.xx.xx/MOB from your mid server it should pop an authentication window up and test your credentials directly. (MOB is the human-readable part of the sdk)

Thanks for help. https://xx.xx.xx.xx/sdk returned me 404 error. however https://xx.xx.xx.xx/MOB was successful. 

and i also tested credential from servicenow platform also to destination form mid server on 443 (https) and authentication is successful. 

however only vmware credential is being authenticated and not SSH. if we need ssh also ?

You shouldn't need ssh credentials if this is an appliance we should just pull everything from the API..Im curious to why you got a 404 from the API and not the MOB a talk with your VM admin might be in order if you haven't already or go the route of support.

Hi All, thank you for helping me on this. I got it working now, what i did is created a probe paratmeter vcenter_timeout == 120000 for Vmware - vcenter datacentes probe. Default is 30000 ms and for appliances i think it needed more time and was getting timed out

So were you successful in discovering the vCenter appliance itself? What type of CI was created?
