Director import VMware data source filter

ankl · August 30, 2024, 7:41pm

Hello,

I would like to import virtual machines (only server VMs) fom vCenter.
Desktops and servers are separated in different subnets, so that I have guest_ip_address as criterion. How could I create an import modfier or sync rule so that only VMs from server subnet are imported to icinga2. We don’t want to monitor our desktop VMs.

Thanks for your help in advance
Andreas

If your subnet is not that complicated you can use a filter like here (syncrule):

or “reject or keep property modifier” (import source)

Alternatively you can write your own importsource modifier in php.

github.com

Icinga/icingaweb2-module-director/blob/master/library/Director/PropertyModifier/PropertyModifierRejectOrSelect.php

<?php

namespace Icinga\Module\Director\PropertyModifier;

use Icinga\Data\Filter\FilterExpression;
use Icinga\Exception\ConfigurationError;
use Icinga\Module\Director\Hook\PropertyModifierHook;
use Icinga\Module\Director\Web\Form\QuickForm;

class PropertyModifierRejectOrSelect extends PropertyModifierHook
{
    /** @var FilterExpression */
    private $filterExpression;

    public function getName()
    {
        return mt('director', 'Reject or keep rows based on property value');
    }

    /**

this one is very simiar to what you need based on the rejectRow() usage
