How to access VMWare vCenter Tags

ridedasnow25 over 6 years ago

We are looking to find the Tags attached to the VM servers from VMWare vCenter. We are running vCenter 5.5.

There are vm.annotation.name and vm.annotation.value fields. Are these the values you are looking for?

I assume the fields you referring to are fields in the vCenter database? You are suggesting we query those fields, then import them into the SolarWinds database and associate them with the same server node?
Though, I'm more looking for how to export the custom "Tags" in vCenter, and how I can import that data into SolarWinds automatically?
