We also have the requirement not to discovert all VMs on a vCenter in one go. We have implemented this by not globally authorising the service user used, but only on specific resources and objects. In this way, it is possible to authorise the user used in Morpheus to certain folders and thus only discover the VMs in these folders. If you want to manage a VM via Morpheus, you only have to move it in vCenter and start a sync in Morpheus.
With this solution it is also possible to reconfigure the VM, perform power controls, teardown etc. without the actual installation of the agent.
