Query List of extensions

[lizjohn]

Hello

Is there a mechanism to programatically query the list of extensions registered on a vcenter server?

Thanks

Liz

Liz,

You can use vSphere web services to get the list of extensions. This can be done by querying the "extensionList" property of the "ExtensionManager" object

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc/vim.ExtensionManager.html

If you want to get that from within your web client plugin, then I suggest take a look at the sample that illustrates using the vsphere web services from within the web client. You can modify that to query the above property.

See enclosed a sample java program that includes code to list all vCenter extensions.
