VMware ESX host (no vSphere/vCenter) auth problem

Hi,

In vSphere I have added a local account (Read-only) for LM to poll it. This works fine.

However when trying to add an actual ESX host I get access denied. In vSphere for each host, I can see that the local account I created has propagated down just fine, so what else can be the cause?

When the Add Device Wizard fails, if I manually specify the creds it still fails, but I can manually specify the ESX host built-in root account and it works fine. So do we need to additionally have a local user account on each ESX host, and that the vSphere inherited perms don’t work for LM?

Thanks

  • I’m not aware of any kinda versioning or updating system for dashboards

    Is the Git repo official LM, and just another source to grab them from? Because that at least has a ‘Last commit’ date?

    Or is Git community driven also?

    We don’t even clone them by default

    Yeah the more I’m starting to build out the dash’s the more I’m starting to avoid that too.
