Did anybody else notice the ~44 new and ~5 updated modules around VMware dropping in the last hour or so? Does anyone know how to implement these new modules? Since there was talk of making the instances into resources I don’t want to just bring them in without knowing how it’s going to mess with my device list (which is tightly bound to billing for us).

Hi, @Stuart Weenig. Migrating to the new modules will not convert instances into Resources. However, the Enhanced Script NetScan filters make it easy to add the ESXi hosts and Mission Critical VMs you want to monitor as Resources. You can setup filters that mirror your business logic and schedule the NetScan to query vCenter on (as frequent as) an hourly basis to add the exact resources you want, so what you deem to need monitoring gets monitored automatically.
