I have to say, I'm really struggling with some of the function of GLPI when it comes to importing data for Linux/Windows boxes.
My goal it to be able to import all our servers and data into GLPI without having to put the agent on all of them.
So far I have tried to use SNMP using the facility on the glpi toolbox GUI.
This is problematic depending on if it can SNMP walk a host or not.
If it can't SNMPWalk a host, it drops the Asset into Unmanaged, but enters it with its host name, which I assume it gets from arp or an nslookup. Because it can't get the host name if it can't SNMPWalk it.
For hosts it can SNMPWalk it seems to be adding it into Computers, but only as its ID that its been entered into the Database as.
But doesn't add anything else to the Asset, no IP data, no make, model, network ports, software etc. So I can only assume the information its getting back from SNMP isn't correct, or enough information, I'm lost on this.
I then tried to add them using the esx facility on the glpi toolbox GUI. This produced better results. It does add the Asset by name, the serial number which is a VMWare specific one, and its UUID.
And again, thats it, no make, model, IP Address, IP Ports, Software, Memory, CPU, etc.
If I ran glpi-esx from command line to see what the XML files it creates have in, I get this in the discovery xml files

Again i see no errors in any logs when the scan is running.
Is there a way to get all the inventory data from all VMWare hosts into GLPI?
I'm running GLPI Agent Version 1.12-1 and GLPI Version 10.0.18
