Steps to reproduce:
- Use the standard template for VMware hypervisors that use the "vmware.hv.fullname" metric;
- Look at the documentation that tells that this key returns "The VMware hypervisor name."
- Look at the Latest data for the value returned by this metric
Result:
See screenshot: this metric returns the version of VMware instead of hostname of hypervisor.
Expected:
The metric that returns the hypervisor's name (some analog of "system.hostname" metric for VMware hypervisors).
If this is a bug (the metric should return this info), it must be fixed.
Otherwise (if it returns this info by design), then the documentation should be fixed, and a new enhancement request created for new metric (for example, "vmware.hv.hostname") that returns exactly hypervisor's name.
In any case, this info is available (as the value of {#HV.NAME} LLD macro in hypervisor's host discovery rule).
