vmware type

When creating this type of connector, you need to define values for the following settings:

Basic settings tab:

• Name (required)—a unique name for this type of resource. Must contain 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
• Tenant (required)—name of the tenant that owns the resource.
• Type (required)—connector type, vmware.
• URL (required)—the URL at which the VMware API is available. The URL must include the host and the port. Only one URL can be specified.
• VMware credentials (required) — a secret that stores the username and password for connecting to the VMware API.
• Client timeout is the time to wait after a request that did not return events before making a new request. This value is specified in seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. If value is 0, the default value is used.
• Maximum number of events — number of events requested from the VMware API in one request. The default value is 100. The maximum value is 1000.
• Start timestamp—starting date and time from which you want to read events from the VMware API. The default value is the time when the collector was started. If started after the collector is stopped, the events are read from the last saved date.

Advanced settings tab:

• Debug—a toggle switch that lets you specify whether resource logging must be enabled. By default, this toggle switch is in the Disabled position.
• Character encoding—specifies the character encoding. The default is UTF-8.
• TLS mode—TLS encryption mode using certificates in PEM x509 format:
  • Disabled (default)—do not use TLS encryption.
  • Enabled means encryption is used, but certificates are not verified.
  • Custom CA—this option requires you to add a secret with a certificate to the collector. Not self-signed certificate. The certificate of the server must be signed with the certificate specified in the collector settings.
• Custom CA (required if "Custom CA" is selected for the TLS mode setting) is the secret where the certificate will be stored.
