Alternative for polling

[ckrama]

Using vmware vsphere 6.7 and vim25 apis.I have a third party plugin in vsphere web client.I need to trigger a method in my third party plugin(code in java) whenever  a host is added in the vcenter cluster i.e. I need to monitor the addition of hosts in realtime.Currently the plugin is polling (for every 5 minutes) for the hosts present and accordingly triggering the corresponding method.But for a rare task like addition of hosts ,polling every 5 minutes gives performance issues.

So,my question is that how shall I get realtime notification from vcenter on such kind of events and trigger our third party code?

I have searched for methods like waitForUpdatesEx but not quite sure whether it would work or not.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-67-monitoring-performance-...

These posts are dated but they are fine.

Events notification email is posible in vcenter 5.1

Is there a way to be alerted to new servers created in VMware (vsphere 5) - Spiceworks

Hey,thanks for your response.I will look into it.Notifications mails are fine,but I am looking for getting the notification of host addition in the code itself without involving any mail .
