This data source establishes a connection to a HyperV server for extracting data.

Connection configuration

For the connection this Data Source needs the following parameters:

  • Host Address - The address of your HyperV server
  • Username - Username for authentication
  • Password - Password for authentication
  • HTTPS - If enabled, port 5986 will be used, otherwise port 5985
  • Auth scheme - The authentication scheme to use (selectable from drop-down menu)

The connection is internally established via WinRM.

Asset types
