Attributes:

Name Type Description
Required
-.display_name string Display name of the component.

-.display_version string Human readable version of the component.

-.vendor string Vendor of the component.

-.source string Final effective source of the component.

Contains the component's source information. Value is one of:
BASE_IMAGE: Base image is the source for this component
ADD_ON: Addon is the source for this component
USER: User is the source for this component
SOLUTION: Solution is the source for this component
HARDWARE_SUPPORT_PACKAGE: Hardware Support Package (HSP) is the source for this component

-.note.id string Unique identifier of the localizable string or message template.

This identifier is typically used to retrieve a locale-specific string or message template from a message catalog.

-.note.default_message string The value of this localizable string or message template in the en_US (English) locale. If vapi.std.localizable_message.id refers to a message template, the default message will contain the substituted arguments. This value can be used by clients that do not need to display strings and messages in the native language of the user. It could also be used as a fallback if a client is unable to access the appropriate message catalog.

-.note.args string[] Positional arguments to be substituted into the message template. This list will be empty if the message uses named arguments or has no arguments.

-.overridden_components component_override_info[] List of other component versions present in base-image, add-ons or solutions that this component is overriding. For example, if a component version-1 was implicitly present in the base-image, but user wants it to be changed to version-2. In that case, esx.settings.effective_component_details.source would be USER and there will be one entry in this list indicating base-image component version-1 is being overridden.

Optional
-.note localizable_message Note assosicated with this component.

Optional. If unset, note is present for this component.

-.note.params object Named arguments to be substituted into the message template. This attribute was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

Optional. Unset means that the message template requires no arguments or positional arguments are used.

-.note.localized string Localized string value as per request requirements. This attribute was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

Optional. when the client has not requested specific locale the implementation may not populate this field to conserve resources.
