Which objects is read?

Primary reads virtual machines see Machines and data centres see Datacenters and folders see Folders

Note: data centres and folders is objects to has a relationship to virtual machine

Virtual Machine

Folder	Reads "parent.Value". Writes to FolderID
Graphics Card	If has property config.hardware.device[x].deviceInfo.summary contains text "NVIDIA" then the virtual machine has a dedicated graphics card. Writes to GraphicsCard value true or false.

Network Bandwidth	Reads from object NetworkConfiguration with method GetBandwidth(String) bandwidth value. Method parameter value is NetworkName. Writes to NetworkBandwidth.
Screen Info	Reads "guest.screen" properties "width" and "height". Writes to Screen and his properties.
Disks	Reads all "layout.disk[]" property "diskFile". Writes to Disks.
