Breaking changes
Datastore discovery
The output format of the vmware.datastore.discovery item has been changed. Returned JSON no longer contains the "data" object. Now the item returns a normal JSON containing an array, thus allowing to apply item value preprocessing steps directly to the returned data without additional workarounds.
| Old JSON format | New JSON format |
{"data":[{"{#DATASTORE}":"FOO",...},{"{#DATASTORE}":"BAR",...}]} |
[{"{#DATASTORE}":"FOO",...},{"{#DATASTORE}":"BAR",...}] |
