Discovery for VMware virtualization
A Discovery schedule for VMware virtualization discovers vCenter and ESX hosts and individual ESXi hosts that manage VMs and related components without a vCenter.
The following options are available for discovering VMware vCenter data:
- Discovery runs the VMware - vCenter Datacenters probe when it identifies a VMware vCenter process running on a Windows machine or detects activity with the vmapp port probe.
- Classic Orchestration runs any of the vCenter probes from a workflow.
Use standalone ESXi discovery to discover VMware data without a vCenter.
