@ChrisG  thanks for the detailed observation and notes on the proxy related configuration which some times not easy to identify . By the way , my issue is solved once we enabled ping from beacon to vcenter. i still wonder why we need ping ( discovery option) for vcenter integration as we directly providing the vcenter IP and configuring rule to do only inventory.   Regards, Junaid Vengadan ...

@ChrisA  one quick doubt here, by any chance ICMP Ping is required from Beacon to Vcenter for the VMware inventory gathering. When i did this integration before it was only port 80/443 communication that was required.   Regards, Junaid Vengadan   ... View more

@kclausen  i have tried the same, nothing useful in discovery logs and no other logs are available.   I have tried adding following values in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Discovery\CurrentVersion by referring to another community article , then i got the following error in discovery log.   2022-01-27 08:14:11,629 [ource.NMapDeviceSource|IPScan] [ERROR] Failed to perform an IP scan.

@adrian_ritz1  i have already added this IP as subnet/32 and added to a beacon and made this as one of my target in the rule.   But as i mentioned, it ran discovery (i guess port) and stopped without running VMware inventory. Regards, Junaid Vengadan   ... View more
