@bb-Ricardo for which object types is the goal of syncing tags from vmware?

bb-Ricardo commented Nov 27, 2024

Hi,

First I believe you need to use the https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-go as tags are not part of the vpshere SOAP API and rather the REST API.

this initiates the session: https://github.com/bb-Ricardo/netbox-sync/blob/main/module/sources/vmware/connection.py#L203

This retrieves all tags for a vCenter object: https://github.com/bb-Ricardo/netbox-sync/blob/main/module/sources/vmware/connection.py#L649

This reads tags for a certain object: https://github.com/bb-Ricardo/netbox-sync/blob/main/module/sources/vmware/connection.py#L701
and compiles a list based on the tag settings for this object:
https://github.com/bb-Ricardo/netbox-sync/blob/3c07a4c001443f50d95ae4668c931599e41efeae/settings-example.ini#L288-L301

hope this is sufficient. Let me know if you are missing anything.
