Hi @emtmeta ,
I'm not aware of any documentation regarding this, but I can tell you how I do with my customer infrastructure:
I run the vCenter invetnory on a weekly basis, usually Sunday afternoon
Bandwidth: The .ndi files are small, the biggest .ndi file that I have for VmWare is around 65k
Impact on vCenter, again didn't notice something and cloud team didn't raised any red flags, it takes a few seconds to generate an inventory of a host.
And customer have a lot of vCenter in infrastructure more than 70
I hope this information is useful for you

need the below information
Aamer: It depends on the need, Inventory could be daily in case VM is moving between host frequently, up-to-date host inventory will help to get VM linked to the latest parent. I would suggest keeping the discovery of ESXi/vCenter separate from inventory. Once an ESXi/vCenter is discovered, assuming IP address/hostname would not change very frequently.
Aamer: VMWare inventory is collected through VMWare API call, it does not take the long and pretty lightweight.
Aamer: negligible as it is pretty lightweight and only connect to API (nothing is installed on the ESXi itself)
Hope this will help to find appropriate scheduling that will work to fulfill your business needs.
