What happened?

Description

Currently when collecting against an environment which contains multiple Datacenters, there is an issue with two of the client calls (ResourcePoolInventoryListObjects and VAppInventoryListObjects). The underlying govmomi client can only handle a default datacenter for these calls, and therefore only resources for 1 datacenter are being returned. This has a side effect of VMs not being created for the non returned objects as well.

Steps to Reproduce

Collect against an environment with multiple datacenters.

Expected Result

Collect metrics for resources under each datacenter.

Actual Result

Many metrics are failed to be created with errors in the logs.
