Overview

This plugin could accept a list of:

  • VM names
  • VM IDs (MoRefs, MOIDs)
  • Custom Attributes

Perhaps include a --ignore-missing flag to allow the plugin to ignore any VMs which are not found via one of the values. The LongServiceOutput could include a list of requested VM names/IDs which were not found as requested.

This plugin could also evaluate whether the VM is paused; it may be that the powerState property indicates that a VM is powered on, even if the paused property indicates that the VM is unavailable for workloads.

It may also be useful to evaluate the bootTime property. If the value is currently low (e.g., recently booted), it may be worth using this as a problematic metric.
