Hi
You can set and get custom values like
- name: Set Custom Attributes
community.vmware.vmware_guest_custom_attributes:
validate_certs: False
hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
state: present
name: 'dev-1'
attributes:
- name: OS
value: 'Windows Server 2019'
- name: Get guest information
community.vmware.vmware_guest_info:
validate_certs: False
hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
name: 'dev-1'
datacenter: Asia-Datacenter1
The output will be like -
ok: [localhost] => {
"changed": false,
"instance": {
"annotation": "",
"current_snapshot": null,
"customvalues": {
"OS": "Windows Server 2019"
},
...
