Could you add support for pulling the vCenter tags on objects (in our case primarily on hosts and virtual machines), and push them into the tag field of the device in D42? This would make our semi-automated documentation through your D42-Confluence plugin soooo smooth... :)

  We have addressed this starting with 15.14.02. If you select the "Discover vCloud" option during Hypervisor discovery, we will create customer fields for tags.  

  Documentation is here https://docs.device42.com/auto-discovery/virtual-machine-auto-discovery/ 

  Discover vCloud: Discover vCloud instances (if using vCloud connector for vSphere, vRealize, etc.). This will create custom fields for any VMWare tags as well.

  Could this also include bringing in any "Custom Attributes" added to a VM as well? Maybe bring them in as "Custom Fields" in Device42?

  This is something that we are looking for as well.  Please implement this feature, if its not already added.

  Hi Kevin.  No, this was addressed in the older version of the product.
