vCenter Discovery - Custom Attributes in Virtual Machines

[Sven Brose]

Hi,

we are discovering vCenter by Cloud Discovery.

Is there a way to discover custom attributes from virtual machines?
I've searched the probes but it seems, that the attributes do not come in.

Best regards and thanks for input!

Hello @Sven Brose ,

Tags associated to VMs should already be captured, but Custom Attributes would require a custom probe/sensor to be built to capture this information if the vCenter API allows you to do so.

How do you configure the custom probe/sensor to get the custom attributes?
