I am apologize if I might be asking something that is very basic knowledge but unfortunately I am not very familiar with this technology.

I am a BigFix Expert and I know very little about the Management Extenders in general, which I blame @dexdexdex for

I do know that all of the Management Extenders are different. Documentation on Management Extenders in general would not help you with your issue. You need some sort of documentation specific to the VMWare Management Extender, which probably exists, but I have never seen or read. There may be a PDF, or there may be a knowledge center thing, or a DevWiki entry, or a developer.bigfix.com tutorial, or something @dexdexdex has but is keeping all to himself, or many other things. See here: BigFix Documentation & Resources

@ivanstalyn

are you talking about the C:/Program Files (x86)/BigFix Enterprise/Management Extender/Plugins/VMware ESXi 1/Inspectors/ESX.inspectors file

I had no idea about that files existence, but that could be extremely helpful in determining which “inspectors” exist for ESX.

Can you post the raw text of that file to the forum here? Don’t worry if the forum screws up the text, I can fix it after you post it. Just hit reply, paste in all of the text, and save the reply. I’ll do the rest.
