how do specify more than one vCenter in vCenter Reciver config

[manjunath-batakurki]

Hi Team,

I'm looking to see if there is an option to specify more than one vCenter details in the config for the vCenter reciver

Currently supported option is as below

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/main/receiver/vcenterreceiver/testdata/config.yaml

Let me know if there is a way currently and whether it is possible to achieve this ?

Would something like this work? All the underlying code could not share a client just due to how govmomi works so I'm not sure adding multiple endpoints would be worth the overhead.

receivers:
  vcenter/vcenter1:
    endpoint: https://vcsa1.localnet
    username: "otelu"
    password: "otelp"
    tls:
      insecure: false
      insecure_skip_verify: true

  vcenter/vcenter2:
    endpoint: https://vcsa2.localnet
    username: "otelu"
    password: "otelp"
    tls:
      insecure: false
      insecure_skip_verify: true

service:
  pipelines:
    metrics:
      receivers: [vcenter/vcenter1, vcenter/vcenter2]

This helps and works as expected. Thank you so much @schmikei :)
