vRA Content Pack Field

Can anyone speak to where this field comes from?

"vmw_vra_cat_item_name"

I've loaded up the vRA 7.3 content pack and some queries require it yet I've found no instance of it in my logs.  Thanks in advance

So once I removed the old content pack, removed my agent group, and re-classified my vRA appliance using the new agent group, I get successful extraction of the field with data returned from a successful request I fired off.

Where are you seeing that extracted field? It isn't defined in the content pack that I can tell.

It's in the vRA 7.3 content pack > vRA - Catalog Requests > Completed Requests successful over time.  If you send it over to Interactive Analytics it shows that field is required for the query.

Note that there is a vRA 7 and 7.3 content pack, if that makes a difference

Oh, I didn't even notice there was a vRA 7.3 content pack until you mentioned it. I find it funny a requirement is a vRLI agent which has yet to be released.

Turns out I needed more patience I suppose.  Some events as of minutes ago are showing up so that field must not have been captured before installing that content pack.  Thanks for the walk through on this one
