Unable to discover only Linux machines in VCenter vm discovery schedule

[Anthony78]

1.I have setup VCenter Cloud discovery schedule and It could find the windows servers

2.It couldn't able to classify only Linux servers , do i need to setup SSH credential separately ? or do i miss any other configuration ?

3.Do i need to enable ports for all esx servers separately if i do Cloud discovery ?

4.I have setup proper VMware credential following below conditions 

"The VMware credentials must have read-only role and License Admin privilege in vCenter..  The credential must be given "Read-Only" defined at "Global".

Is that cloud discovery required to enable ports ?

Cloud discovery won't bring devices to the cmdb_ci_linux_server table, it will bring devices only on VMware instance table ( cmdb_ci_vmware_instance)

Hi Anthony,

VMware credentials will discovery only VMs which gets stored in cmdb_ci_vm_instance table. to perform full discovery of that VM you need credentials. in this case Linux server credentials. also TCP port 22 (SSH) need to be open from Mid Server to Target Linux Server outbound.

Got it, hope this applies to all Cloud discovery such as AWS, Azure etc...
