All of our vCenters are unlinked, and completely independent making it a little more difficult.
It’s possible we could have some more luck using a dynamic inventory from vCenter. We are looking at Tower, so it could be a possibility.

I haven't figured out how to call the UUID so I have it set manually.

I have an inventory file with a bunch of VM’s I manage currently. When we do maintenances we like to take a snapshot just before we perform actions however, I am hitting a hitch of trying to find a way to determine what vCenter the VM is located on. There can be several it could be on, and I really don’t want to statically go and define it for all my VM’s. Any ideas on the best way to accomplish this? I was thinking I could try vmware_guest_find and iterating through the vCenters but that seems inelegant and sort of slow.
