v0.21.1

Overview

• Refactoring/cleanup
• Bugfixes
• Dependency updates
• built using Go 1.16.9
  • Statically linked
  • Linux x64

Added

• (GH-389) Add CodeQL analysis GitHub Actions workflow

Changed

• (GH-406) Cover Performance Data metrics work in README

• (GH-403) Note type of container for retrieved VMs via debug log message

• Dependencies

  • vmware/govmomi
    • v0.26.1 to v0.27.0

Fixed

• (GH-391) README CLI example for check_vmware_hs2ds2vms lists
  check_vmware_vhw plugin instead
• (GH-393) check_vmware_hs2ds2vms plugin emits empty string in place of ESXi
  host for mismatched VM
• (GH-397) Unable to retrieve VirtualMachine objects from VirtualApp
  "containers"
• (GH-400) When called from vsphere.GetVMsFromContainer(), the
  vsphere.getObjects() function reports incorrect number of objects
  retrieved
• (GH-399) vsphere.GetEligibleRPs() should exit early if the hidden/parent
  Resources ResourcePool is evaluated
  • light testing indicates that this can reduce plugin runtime for applicable
    plugins as much as 2x and is particularly notable when evaluating 200+ VMs
