Missing VM information from .../vcenter/vm/{vm}

[dkalaluhi]

I noticed recently while writing a CMDB integration, that {cluster} is not included in the information retrieved from the above endpoint. {resource_pool} is not included as well, which could be a way to work around the issue.

Also, (since we're talking missing information), while the above endpoint shows datastore, it does not show datastore cluster, which would really be handy to have, as the VM can move at any given point in time.

Hi @dkalaluhi, thanks for letting me know about this. I'm going to log this internally. I appreciate the feedback and definitely welcome your continued feedback. Let me know about anything you run into. Thanks!

@houcinedz A 404 typically means that the resource you are looking for is not found. I would need more information about the call you made to help with diagnosing why your request failed.

@houcinedz You can, but the calls are limited on vSphere 6.0. The content library and tagging functionality is available, but all other calls are not available until vSphere 6.5.

@houcinedz You can use one of the management SDKs that use the SOAP-based APIs. There is a Java version available as well as pyvmomi for Python, rbvmomi for Ruby, and govmomi for Go.

@houcinedz If you are having issues with pyvmomi, please report them on their issues or request an invite to the VMware {code} Slack team and join the #pyvmomi channel.

@houcinedz There are a few samples in the main pyvmomi repo, but almost all of the samples can be found in the community samples.
