Use customValue to populate virtual machine's custom attributes. customValue is only supported by vCenter and not by ESXi.
-
Use all to populate all the properties of the virtual machine. The value all is time consuming operation, do not use unless required absolutely.
- -
-
- proxy_host - -
- string -
- 		- -
env:VMWARE_PROXY_HOST
- 		-
Address of a proxy that will receive all HTTPS requests and relay them.
-
The format is a hostname or a IP.

A list of resources to limit search scope.
-
Each resource item is represented by exactly one 'vim_type_snake_case:list of resource names pair and optional nested resources
-
Key name is based on snake case of a vim type name; e.g host_system correspond to vim.HostSystem
