Recently VMware are adding everything into vCenter to be centrally managed, apart from my PowerCLI prompt I think the vSphere Client is the second most launched application on my computer !

Now wouldn’t it be useful if you could add your other management interfaces into the vCenter Client, even if the vendor hasn’t created a plugin…

One App to rule them all, One App to find them,
One App to bring them all and in the vSphere Client bind them.

Sorry, couldn’t resist it.

imageNow with my simple script you can fill out a few text fields and instantly add any URL whether its a local file or on a web server, it can be added to your local vSphere Client.

My “PS Local Plugin Creator” script will add the plugin to your local vSphere Client only and does not touch the vCenter server itself, mainly because I wanted to use it as a client only extension.

I think the app is pretty straight forward and needs no further instructions.

Some useful examples of this are below:

Thanks to Eric, Barry and Luc for testing the app.  Thanks also to the guys at xtravirt for there help.
