Extracting the actual VM ID for a custom link

[Azmodeszer]

I'm looking to auto-create a link in NetBox that points back to the VM object in vCenter. Seems the URL is constructed from a certain alphanumerical ID, which is however neither config.uuid nor config.instanceUuid. I checked the debug output and it appears the relevant ID is contained in the extraConfig array, under the key of viv.moid.

https://vcenter.server.local/ui/app/vm;nav=v/urn:vmomi:VirtualMachine:vm-111111:22222222-3333-4444-5555-666666666666/summary

How do I make the sync generate a custom field for it via vm_custom_object_attributes? Or is there a simpler way for constructing an URL that links back to the vCenter object?

I think there is currently no way to extract a field from a list of objects. Sorry. This would need a filter to find the correct object and then extract the attribute.

Alright, too bad. Thanks.
