Setting up the job
The wizard follows the standard path Basics › Targets › Schedule › Summary—see Creating a Scan Job. The Targets step is what sets this module apart. Each row carries the columns IP/Hostname and Credentials. IP/Hostname takes one ESXi host or one vCenter per row, as an address or hostname. The Credentials column must be filled, with an entry of the type User Account. ESXi and vCenter do not accept a sign-in through the gateway’s service account. An entry in Credentials for all targets applies to every row without an assignment of its own.Prerequisites
The scan connects over HTTPS to the web API of the ESXi hosts and the vCenter.Ports and protocols
