Hello All,
I learnt that discovery automatically triggers a probe for vCenter discovery when it finds that some Windows machine has vCenter application/software installed on it.
On the same lines I have a few questions:
For example:
1. I have a vCenter instance available in the CMDB, how can I figure out which Windows machine has a particular instance of vCenter installed on it, so that I can run a discovery on that particular machine and get the details of all the datacenters, clusters, ESX Servers and VM instances.
Also, I found out that VMWare has a vCenter web app also. So how to figure out whether the vCenter is istalled on a Windows machine or was discovered from web app?
2.I see even in Orlando release, ServiceNow uses a probe for vCenter discovery and there is no pattern available.How can I get all the information that is available for VM instances in the probe and will it be wise to customize this OOTB probe keeping in mind the automatic upgrade of probes from ServiceNow.
3. How can I fetch additional details about a VM instance which already is not available OOTB.
For example:
If we add a field to VM instance machine table and we want value in the field to be auto-populated through discovery?
Please let me know if you have any information on the above queries.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sanket Shinde
