vim.ServiceManager
==================
The ServiceManager managed object is a singleton object that is used to present services that are optional and not necessarily formally defined. This directory makes available a list of such services and provides an easy way to locate them. The service being represented can take arbitrary form here and is thus represented by a generic ManagedObject. The expectation is that the client side is knowledgeable of the instance type of the specific service it is interested in using.
:since: `VI API 2.5`_
Attributes
----------
service ([`vim.ServiceManager.ServiceInfo`_]):
privilege: Global.ServiceManagers
The full list of services available in this directory.
Methods
-------
QueryServiceList(serviceName, location):
A query interface that returns a list of services that match certain criteria. Besides a basic service name entry, an arbitrary list of matching locations can also be specified. The location array is assumed to be a list of AND expressions, ie, all locations must match for an entry to be considered a match. Regular expressions are not allowed in the query service.
Privilege:
Global.ServiceManagers
Args:
serviceName (`str`_, optional):
The name of the service to be located.
location (`str`_, optional):
The list of location information that needs to match for a service to be considered a match.
Returns:
[`vim.ServiceManager.ServiceInfo`_]:
Raises:
`vmodl.fault.InvalidArgument`_:
if both serviceName and location are not specified.
