Discovery gathers information
about virtual machines managed by VMware vCenter.

The Discovery product can extract information from VMware configuration items (CI), including
their relationships. Discovery is configured to work with the Orchestration VMware Support
Plugin, which enables the automatic cloning of virtual machines by an ESX server managed by
vCenter. For information about data collected by Discovery on vCenter, see [Data collected for VMware Cloud Discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/KOgK7mC5I35A9uqt~BNDSA "Discovery collects information about VMware resources in your cloud service accounts.").
