When using vDS port mirroring, you can only select groups of Vms by ports, not by other groupings such as virtual machine folders, clusters, hosts, etc. This means that although you can set up a port mirroring session to take a set of existing VMs and mirror their traffic to a collector, vCenter doesn't automatically add new VMs in the same folder as those existing VMs to the session. YOu can specify a range of vDS ports to mirror, but you don't know what port numbers will be assigned new VMs when they are created. If you want to mirror all VMs for a group of VMs belonging to one department or one customer, and have all new VMs belonging to that department or customer added to the mirroring session, what is the best way to do this?
