Hi Tibor,

How the VM discovery (libvirt, vmware, proxmox) works is:

- Observium retrieves a list of virtual machines configured on the host being discovered/polled. Note that this does not work on all vmware versions - if you see a VM tab on your device you're good. - In case a new VM is found (=one that was not found on that host previously), an attempt to add the vm via its name is kicked off, if it is deemed a valid hostname.

As with all device autodiscovery, this depends on the ip_nets setting, and on a bunch of exclusion configuration fields that make Observium ignore certain hostnames.

Hi all,

Not sure if it was asked before, but in current version of Observium 0.16.1.7504 in global settings is option called “Enable autodiscovery via Vmware”. How does it works? As I very like observium, documentation looks as totally out of date and not usable.

Thanks

Tibor
