Query: Nimble vCenter plugin for vCenter 8?

[COH_Admin]

Is there a plugin for the new vCenter 8 for the Nimble?  We have Nimble version 6.0.0.500-1005932-opt installed, but the plugin fails when attemping to register it to our vCenter.  I've read that vCenter 8 and forward will only work with "remote" plugins and not "local" anymore, so wondering if Nimble has an updated plugin that will work.  I've tried to un-register and re-register the plugin, but it fails in vCenter when attempting to install.  Is it possible to download and install an updated plugin for the Nimble, or does it have to be installed via the NimbleOS?

Not sure if this was an automated reply from a bot of some kind, but not sure those links really help.  They were published 6 years ago way before vCenter 8 was out, so not sure if it would even be relevant.  Anyway, I found this website which appears to say that there is a plugin that is compatible with vCenter 8; now I just have to figure out where to get this plugin and how to install it.

Hi

the plugin is part of the Nimble OS as far as I know

vmware 8.0 is only supported from version 6.1.1.100

it might not be supported at all if you look in Infosight 

in the configuration matrix.

Give a KUDO if this helps

Thank you!  You are correct in that's it's only supported in Nimble OS 6.1.1.100.  I took the chance and updated Nimble and then I was able to register the plugin back to vCenter.  Thanks again!
