vcenter connector examples

Old Versions
#1

Hi,

We're interesting in using VCenter connector, but we aren't usign Ready2use.

So is it possible to have some examples on how to use VCenter connector?

is it possible to try it  on a free CMDBuild?

thanks in advance

I’m sorry, the connector is only available as a service included in annual maintenance.
However,
the connector is implemented using the VCenter API and the REST / SOAP
webservice available in the public release of CMDBuild.

Before buying an annual license we would like to verify that the connector does what interests us.

 

It's not so clear how it work and if it's configurable (we aren't using Ready2Use).

 

So, is it possible to evaluate for a limited period Vcenter connector?

 

 

It's not so clear for me the meaning of this sentence:

 

"However, the connector is implemented using the VCenter API and the REST / SOAP webservice available in the public release of CMDBuild."

 

thanks

You can find more information on the connector with VCenter in the CMDBuild Connectors Manual, page 21 and following ( http://www.cmdbuild.org/en/documentazione/manuali ).
The
connector is configured to map VCenter data into the Ready2Use data
model, if you need to use it with a different data model, you need to
change the configuration.
Unfortunately, we do not have a trial version of the connector that works for a limited period of time.

What about Zabbix connector?

is it available in CMDBuild 2.5 free version?
 
What kind of connectors are available in 2.5 version?
 
thanks

No, I'm sorry, the Zabbix connector is not available in the open version.
Please refer to this page where you can find all information about the CMDBuild connectors and their commercial use:

ok,

here 
                     http://www.cmdbuild.org/en/prodotti/ready2use
I can read that Zabbix and Vcenter are available only in REady2Use.
It seems  not available for CMDBuild with commercial support
thanks

They are available ready and working only for CMDBuild Ready2Use because the data mapping refers to the Ready2Use data model.
Otherwise they must be personalized.

We've defined a custom data model, suitable for our organization.
So we can't use Ready2Use.
 
We're quite interested in connector,but I can't understand what "personalize a connector" means.
 
It means that we can't simply configure it via CMDBuild gui?
or what kind of customization we have to do?
 
I can't find any hint about this issue in CMDBuild manuals
#10

Personalize a connector means
changing the Groovy code if you only need to adapt the connector to a
different data model, change the Java code if additional operating
mechanisms are needed in addition to those available in the Advanced
Connector framework we use (see the CMDBuild Connectors Manual page 10 and later).
