Overview ¶
Package find implements inventory listing and searching.
The Finder is an alternative to the object.SearchIndex FindByInventoryPath() and FindChild() methods. SearchIndex.FindByInventoryPath requires an absolute path, whereas the Finder also supports relative paths and patterns via path.Match. SearchIndex.FindChild requires a parent to find the child, whereas the Finder also supports an ancestor via recursive object traversal.
The various Finder methods accept a "path" argument, which can absolute or relative to the Folder for the object type. The Finder supports two modes, "list" and "find". The "list" mode behaves like the "ls" command, only searching within the immediate path. The "find" mode behaves like the "find" command, with the search starting at the immediate path but also recursing into sub Folders relative to the Datacenter. The default mode is "list" if the given path contains a "/", otherwise "find" mode is used.
The exception is to use a "..." wildcard with a path to find all objects recursively underneath any root object. For example: VirtualMachineList("/DC1/...")

Functions ¶
func InventoryPath ¶ added in v0.24.0
func InventoryPath(ctx context.Context, client *vim25.Client, obj types.ManagedObjectReference) (string, error)
InventoryPath composes the given object's inventory path. There is no vSphere property or method that provides an inventory path directly. This method uses the ManagedEntity.Parent field to determine the ancestry tree of the object and the ManagedEntity.Name field for each ancestor to compose the path.
Types ¶

type DefaultMultipleFoundError struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Finder) HostSystemList ¶

func (*Finder) ManagedObjectList ¶

func (*Finder) Network ¶
Network finds a NetworkReference using a Name, Inventory Path, ManagedObject ID, Logical Switch UUID or Segment ID. With standard vSphere networking, Portgroups cannot have the same name within the same network folder. With NSX, Portgroups can have the same name, even within the same Switch. In this case, using an inventory path results in a MultipleFoundError. A MOID, switch UUID or segment ID can be used instead, as both are unique. See also: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/79872#Duplicate_names Examples: - Name: "dvpg-1" - Inventory Path: "vds-1/dvpg-1" - Cluster Path: "/dc-1/host/cluster-1/dvpg-1" - ManagedObject ID: "DistributedVirtualPortgroup:dvportgroup-53" - Logical Switch UUID: "da2a59b8-2450-4cb2-b5cc-79c4c1d2144c" - Segment ID: "/infra/segments/vnet_ce50e69b-1784-4a14-9206-ffd7f1f146f7"
func (*Finder) NetworkList ¶
func (*Finder) NetworkOrDefault ¶ added in v0.4.0
func (*Finder) ObjectReference ¶ added in v0.8.0
func (f *Finder) ObjectReference(ctx context.Context, ref types.ManagedObjectReference) (object.Reference, error)

func (*Finder) ResourcePoolList ¶
func (*Finder) ResourcePoolListAll ¶ added in v0.11.1
