Hi, we are trying to use vmware templates to monitor our infrastructure.
I have cloned original vmware template to our own, and i linked it to another template with {$VMWARE.USERNAME} and {$VMWARE.PASSWORD} macros defined.
I also overrided "Host prototypes" to link newly created host to our template with passwords.
Problem is, in discovered vmware hypervisors, the value of this macro is inherited empty from original "Vmware hypervisor" template, but in discoverd VM, it is inherited from our template.
In esxi host

In vm (the value is inherited from our template, not from VMware Guest)

I have workarounded it by removing all {$VMWARE} macro's from original "vmware hypervisor" template.
What is the correct way? I don't want to edit original templates
Thanks for info
