FWIW the approval event payload doesn't contain any information about the actual request that was submitted other than the request ID. In my case we wanted to populate our service database with the current values so we could provide real time billing based off allocated resources. Here's the code i used to fetch that info. This basically just grabs the name, cpu, memory, disks, and nics as they were submitted in the reconfigure request and builds a "VM" object which i output as a JSON string.
//System.log(JSON.stringify(payload));
var req = vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder.getResourceActionRequest(host, payload.sourceInfo.externalInstanceId);
var map = req.requestData;
//System.log(map.keySet());
var vm = new Object();
vm.name = map.get('provider-MachineName').value;
vm.cpu = map.get('provider-Cafe.Shim.VirtualMachine.Reconfigure.CpuCount').value;
vm.memory = map.get('provider-Cafe.Shim.VirtualMachine.Reconfigure.MemorySize').value / 1024;
vm.disks = new Array();
vm.nics = new Array();
var objs = map.get('provider-Cafe.Shim.VirtualMachine.Reconfigure.Storages').value
var count = -1;
json = JSON.parse(objs);
for each (obj in json) {
var thing = new Object();
count = count + 1;
thing.name = vm.name + " hard disk " + count;
thing.tier = obj.StoragePolicy;
thing.capacity = obj.CapacityInGB;
thing.date = System.getModule("edu.ufl.sql").getDateTime2Now(true, null);
vm.disks.push(thing);
}
var objs = map.get('provider-Cafe.Shim.VirtualMachine.Reconfigure.Networks').value
var count = -1;
json = JSON.parse(objs);
for each (obj in json) {
var thing = new Object();
count = count + 1;
thing.name = vm.name + " nic " + count;
thing.vlan = obj.NetworkName;
thing.date = System.getModule("edu.ufl.sql").getDateTime2Now(true, null)
vm.nics.push(thing);
}
vmProperties = JSON.stringify(vm);
resourceName = vm.name;
