Is there a way to get more metrics/fields from vcenter using vsphere module? How can I check that what's happening behind the vsphere module?

You can see how Metricbeat collects metrics from Vsphere using govmomi:
- host: [beats/host.go at master · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/metricbeat/module/vsphere/host/host.go#L81)
- datastore: [beats/datastore.go at master · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/metricbeat/module/vsphere/datastore/datastore.go#L76)
- virtualmachine: [beats/virtualmachine.go at master · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/metricbeat/module/vsphere/virtualmachine/virtualmachine.go#L86)
If you need more metrics, please either open an enhancement request or a PR with the metrics you had implemented.
