Description
This plugin is made to retrieve all VCenter informations using the new REST api from VMWare VCenter. Link : https://code.vmware.com/apis/62/vcenter-management

Prerequisite
The following configuration need to be installed on your VCenter :
- VCenter 6.5 and newer (see link above)
- A user with read rights on the API and VCenter infrastructure
The following OCS configuration need to be installed :
- Unix agent 2.3 and newer
- OCS Inventory 2.3.X recommended
The following dependencies need to be installed on agent :
- LWP::UserAgent
- JSON
Used API routes
This following routes are used by the API :
- myvcenterserver/rest/com/vmware/cis/session
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/datacenter"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/datacenter/{details}"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/resource-pool"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/resource-pool/{details}"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/cluster"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/cluster/{details}"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/host"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/datastore"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/datastore/{details}"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/folder"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/network"
- myvcenterserver/appliance/system/version"
- myvcenterserver/appliance/system/uptime"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/vm"
- myvcenterserver/rest/vcenter/vm/{vmid}"
Configuration
To configure a new server to scan you need to edit the Vmware.pm file.
Line 18 :
my @auth_hashes = (
{
URL => "MY_FIRST_VMWARE_SERVER",
AUTH_DIG => "My Auth digest (user:pass encoded in base 64)",
},
{
URL => "MY_SECOND_VMWARE_SERVER",
AUTH_DIG => "My Auth digest (user:pass encoded in base 64)",
},
);
You need to change the URL to your VMWare server url / ip and set the AUTH_DIG to user + pass encoded in base 64
If you have more than one server you need to add the following line below the last URL + AUTH_DIG values :
{
URL => "MY_THIRD_VMWARE_SERVER",
AUTH_DIG => "My Auth digest (user:pass encoded in base 64)",
},
Note : there is no limit on server number
