Your datasource sounds awesome, I can't wait to take a look! I did want to mention that we do have some updates coming for ESX VM- and ESX VM Snapshots- that will also include a number useful instance level properties. They're written in Groovy and use the included Java SDK for VMware. Additionally, if you use vSphere tags, these new datasources will pull those in as instance level properties. These datasources haven't been released yet, but are currently going through review.

Awesome! I didn't take the stab at the groovy portion yet because I wanted to use the full folder path for a VM.group and I'm not that great at groovy yet. PS was easier for me to get going want the concept was, then I was going to port to groovy after I got my basics down. Using this in our prod env now and going to use it to help populate our cmdb. I'm up for testing the new ones in our dev account.
