vRA Tagging drop-down list

[ScottyW253]

I can apply tags to deployed VM's however was looking for a way to build the functionality into the service broker form.

e.g. We have a tag that is applied to VM's called Provided Service. I was looking for a way to customize the form so that the catalog request would list all the Provided Service tags within vSphere and display them in a drop-down for the user to select.

Has anyone accomplished this or can point me in the right direction.

Great question, if I'm lucky I'll be trying to tackle it myself within a couple days.

With vRealize Orchestrator Plug-In for vRealize Automation 

var list = [];
var url = "/provisioning/uerp/resources/tags";
var parameters = "$filter=(key%20eq%20%27Provided%20Service%27)&expand=true";
var restResult = System.getModule("com.vmware.vra.extensibility.plugin.rest").getObjectFromUrl(vraHost, url, parameters);
Object.keys(restResult.documents).forEach(
  function (tagId) {
    list.push(restResult.documents[tagId].value);
  }
)
System.debug(list);
return list;

/iaas/api/tags should also give you the tags, but I had issues with earlier vRA8 versions when it returned only 100 tags. Have not tested since...

Hi Xian

Thanks for this. It works perfectly within Orchestrator however I get the following error within the Service Broker

{"message":"920002: Invoked action completed with error. Error : Action 'getTagByKey' in module 'com.vmware.vra.extensibility.rest' failed : TypeError: Cannot read property \"documents\" from undefined (com.vmware.vra.extensibility.rest/getTagByKey#5).","messageId":0,"stackTrace":null,"statusCode":400,"errorCode":920002};

Any Ideas?

You'll need to set vraHost variable as well within the action.
