vCenter Server

Reads GET /sdk/vimServiceVersions.xml — vCenter’s SOAP API version-discovery document, needing no credentials.

targets:
  - id: vcenter-main
    product: vcenter
    address: https://vcenter.example.com

Authentication

Section titled “Authentication”

None — the endpoint accepts no credential shape.

What “version” means here

Section titled “What “version” means here”

The value reported (e.g. 8.0.3.0) is the vim25 API version out of the document’s urn:vim25 namespace entry — not a separately-tracked marketing build string. VMware’s own documentation treats the two as equivalent, and every third-party tool that version-detects vCenter this way relies on exactly that correspondence.

Recorded fields

Section titled “Recorded fields”

Only version — this probe records no extra fields.
