vSphere v4.16.1 published on Wednesday, Oct 22, 2025 by Pulumi

    The vsphere_thumbprint data source can be used to discover the host thumbprint of an ESXi host. This can be used when adding the vsphere.Host resource to a cluster or a vCenter Server instance.

    • If the ESXi host is using a certificate chain, the first one returned will be used to generate the thumbprint.

    • If the ESXi host has a certificate issued by a certificate authority, ensure that the the certificate authority is trusted on the system running the plan.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
    import * as vsphere from "@pulumi/vsphere";
    
    const thumbprint = vsphere.getHostThumbprint({
        address: "esxi-01.example.com",
    });
    
    import pulumi
    import pulumi_vsphere as vsphere
    
    thumbprint = vsphere.get_host_thumbprint(address="esxi-01.example.com")
    
    package main
    
    import (
    	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-vsphere/sdk/v4/go/vsphere"
    	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
    )
    
    func main() {
    	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
    		_, err := vsphere.GetHostThumbprint(ctx, &vsphere.GetHostThumbprintArgs{
    			Address: "esxi-01.example.com",
    		}, nil)
    		if err != nil {
    			return err
    		}
    		return nil
    	})
    }

    Using getHostThumbprint

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getHostThumbprint(args: GetHostThumbprintArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetHostThumbprintResult>
    function getHostThumbprintOutput(args: GetHostThumbprintOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetHostThumbprintResult>
    def get_host_thumbprint(address: Optional[str] = None,
                            insecure: Optional[bool] = None,
                            port: Optional[str] = None,
                            opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetHostThumbprintResult
    def get_host_thumbprint_output(address: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                            insecure: Optional[pulumi.Input[bool]] = None,
                            port: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                            opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetHostThumbprintResult]
    func GetHostThumbprint(ctx *Context, args *GetHostThumbprintArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*GetHostThumbprintResult, error)
    func GetHostThumbprintOutput(ctx *Context, args *GetHostThumbprintOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) GetHostThumbprintResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named GetHostThumbprint in the Go SDK.

    public static class GetHostThumbprint 
    {
        public static Task<GetHostThumbprintResult> InvokeAsync(GetHostThumbprintArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
        public static Output<GetHostThumbprintResult> Invoke(GetHostThumbprintInvokeArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
    }
    public static CompletableFuture<GetHostThumbprintResult> getHostThumbprint(GetHostThumbprintArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
    public static Output<GetHostThumbprintResult> getHostThumbprint(GetHostThumbprintArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
    
    fn::invoke:
      function: vsphere:index/getHostThumbprint:getHostThumbprint
