How do I get the vCenter IP Address through MOB?

Hi Team,

How do I retrieve the IP Address or Host Name of the vCenter server through MOB API. I tried running 'ServiceContent' method in the MOB API "https://<vcenter>/mob" and it shows the following information. However, it does not provide the Center IP Address or FQDN. Is there any other MOB API that can provide this information.

 

apiTypestring"VirtualCenter"
apiVersionstring"6.7.3"
buildstring"17137327"
fullNamestring"VMware vCenter Server 6.7.0 build-17137327"
instanceUuidstring"8e33bc10-271c-475a-b228-af1cd9c33a7e"
licenseProductNamestring"VMware VirtualCenter Server"
licenseProductVersionstring"6.0"
localeBuildstring"000"
localeVersionstring"INTL"
namestring"VMware vCenter Server"
osTypestring"linux-x64"
productLineIdstring"vpx"
vendorstring"VMware, Inc."
versionstring"6.7.0"

If you're logged into the MOB interface (which is really for debugging/troubleshooting/learning purposes), you've already got the address of the vCenter Server 🙂 If you've got DNS, then you can either perform a local forward or reverse DNS lookup

The FQDN of the vCenter Server is stored under VC Advanced Settings and look for the key VirtualCenter.FQDN, but as I said before, you have this info if you're already logged into MOB, so this is a strange request
