Model objects with associated attributes

The VMware Virtual Center server sensor creates model objects with associated attributes. The attributes indicate the type of information that the sensor collects about VMware Virtual Center resources in your IT environment.

The sensor creates the following model objects. The attributes that are associated with each model object are shown below the model object name.
