This stand-alone application collects information about a whole data center from a vSphere server (using the vSphere Web Services) and synchronizes this information with iTop using several Synchronization Data Sources.

<note>
This extension is actually provided through [[https://www.itophub.io/|iTop Hub]], the platform that provides you with all the required resources to optimize your iTop. 
</note>

===== Features =====

  * Automated inventory of Servers (with their Brand, Model), Hypervisors (with their OS Family and OS Version), Farms, Virtual Machines (with their OS Family and OS Version).
  * Optional inventory of IPv4 addresses and logical interfaces
  * The collector can reside on any system with web access to both vSphere Web Services and iTop.
  * Automatic creation and update of the Synchronization Data Sources in iTop.
  * Starting with version 1.0.12 the collection mechanism is somehow extensible

===== Limitations =====

  * This version of the collector does not collect the Data Stores (they do not exist in the iTop standard data model).
  * Logical interfaces may be collected in the case where TeemIp (module or standalone) is used.
  * If IP collection is enabled, only IPv4 addresses are collected, not IPv6.
