If hosts and datastores etc show up a devices that can be separately SDT’d then that’d be great.

To accomplish this with the new modules and onboarding process, you can have the Enhanced Script NetScan add your desired vSphere Clusters (ESXi hosts) as Resources and disable the following DataSources:
VMware_vCenter_HostPerformance
VMware_vCenter_HostVSwitch
VMware_vCenter_HostInterfaces
After doing this, you can selectively SDT by DataCenter, Cluster, Resource Pool, or individual ESXi host.
