Pretty sure we’re not going to use it then since adding devices in is associated with billing and we don’t just add stuff in because it exists.
We’re probably in the same camp. I’m pretty sure that we get what we need in terms of host monitoring through vCenter. I can’t imagine that we would add the hosts individually into LM as there would be a cost associated with adding each host. We may just look at customising alerts on the existing datasources so that they take into account of host maintenance mode in the vCenter inventory (i.e. don’t throw an alert if a host is in maint mode).
