EmployeeHi Jaelae,
I have a couple thoughts here:
First thing to mention - our primary collection method of data from VMware is through the API - so while we monitor many Windows datapoints through WMI, the VMware datasources shouldn't depend on that. I tested this just now on a Windows Server 2016 VM - and didn't notice a difference in either the monitoring of the VM as a direct device - or the monitoring of the VM from the host perspective. (The uninstall of WMI Performance Logging from the VMware Tools Toolbox didn't even require a reboot for me.)
Second - we recently updated all of our VMware datasources; the new ones are looking fantastic and chock-full of some useful instance-level properties. You should be able to grab them by going to "Settings -> LogicModules -> DataSources -> Add -> Add From LogicMonitor Repository" and selecting them from the list. Our datasource team's actually released a bunch of great new material in the last couple months, so I highly encourage everyone to check out the new datasources available there.
Hope that helps - seems like you should just be fine to proceed, I would probably start with a single machine and vet it out in your environment first, though.
Best,
Kerry
