Data source properties

A VMware vSphere Performance or VMware vSphere Snapshot collection requires the following information in a data source:

• Endpoint: The vSphere endpoint URL <VirtualCenter.VimApiUrl>/vimService
  You can find the value of <VirtualCenter.VimApiUrl> for your vCenter server by choosing Administration > vCenter Server Settings > Advanced Settings in the vSphere Client. By default this value is https://<serverName>:443/sdk, which would make the endpoint URL https://<serverName>:443/sdk/vimService.

  • Datastore.Browse
  • Global.Licenses
