Can I monitor vCenter tags and create an alert if a computer doesn't have one?

Hi, We use vCenter to manage our VMs.  We have the hosts in LM.  We currently have a process where we get an email every morning that has VMs that don’t have any tags.  We use Tags to manage backup ...

    We’re working on adding tag categories and tags to each vCenter VM instance in a format something like this:

    auto.vmware.vcenter.tag.TagCategoryName1 = TagName

    auto.vmware.vcenter.tag.TagCategoryName2 = TagName

    so, examples might look like:

    auto.vmware.vcenter.tag.Environment = Production

    auto.vmware.vcenter.tag.Application = MSSQL

I just got the first cut of the new (pre-release) property source that does this and forwarded it to one of our early adopter customers for validation.  If you would like to test this in your sandbox portal, please let me know. Otherwise, I anticipate general availability in January.
