Success!
Compute Resource providers like vmware are technically not plugins to Foreman, so you won’t find that feature in the plugin API.
Why is it you need to check via the API if it is there if the installer succeeded? If you just generically want to know if it is installed, easiest would be to check the installed packages for foreman-vmware or rubygem-fog-vsphere.
Navigate to Infrastructure → Compute resources and click Create Compute Resource button. Give it some name and select a provider type. If you don’t see any provider, you need to install some. While some providers are part of Foreman core, we ship them in separate RPM packages, so users can install only those, that are interesting in their environment. In order to see, what providers you have installed, navigate to Administer → About → Available Providers .
I wanted to connect my vmware server to Foreman, is it not the way to do ?
While that article is a bit dated (over 3 years by now), the section you quoted should generally still be correct, though I currently do not have a recent Foreman instance at hand to check for myself.
Are you able to create a VMWare compute resource?
You might want to take a look at the current docs for some more help.
While the new docs at docs.theforeman.org currently are mainly aimed at Katello, the section about VMWare integration is generic enough to also be applicable to plain Foreman as well.
