Hello,
I installed the VMware plugin on a BigFix Relay version 11.0.4. I was able to get a list of all the VMs hosted in the Vcenter that I used as a test, but I am still looking for a relevance that provides the following information:
The name of the Vcenter
The number of cores per VM
The name of the cluster
For the cores and processor, I tried all the inspectors listed in the BigFix documentation, such as:
family name of processor
count of processor
logical processor count
…
but I still get an error message on the processor
Please provide support to either correct these reports or tell me how to obtain this information.
I’m afraid there are a few different things to which ‘VMWare plugin’ may refer – I think it will help if you can tell us the full Fixlet Title or Fixlet ID that you used for the installation?
I’m not sure whether you’re talking about the Cloud plugin for VMWare, or Inventory VM Manager, or Virtual Endpoint Manager extender for VMWare.
You can determine the values of 'family name' and 'logical processor' only for the hosts, not for the guests. To enable the VMware plugin to discover hosts as well, take a look here: VMware Asset Discovery Plugin Inspectors
You can define these properties for your purpose, valid for the hosts: Family Name if (exists main processor) then (family name of main processor as string) else ("N/A")
Logical Processor Count if (exists main processor) then (logical processor count of main processor) else 0
For the guests, you can define this to retrieve the processor counts:
Processor Count if (exists main processor) then (count of main processor) else 0
You can define these properties in an analysis, and use this relevance to the applicability: (if exists property "in proxy agent context" then (in proxy agent context) else false) AND (data source as lowercase contains "vmware")
