You are correct, you do not need to add the ESXi hosts credentials to the repository as the vCenter server will handle all of this for you, it's much less complicated.

All of your commands will have --server vcenter_server_ip_or_fqdn as this is the server that handles the connection from the vMA and grants you access to all the objects. If you wanted to check a host you would also need to use the --host esxi_host_object_name because you are targeting a host. If you wanted to check a guest you would also need to use the --guest guest_object_name because you are targeting a guest.

The manual has full examples.

For any further questions can you please start a new thread with a new topic.

Hi,
