I'm trying to use the plugin to power on a VM but having VMWare tools to report the IP address isn't an option. Therefore, when powering on a VM with this plugin, it will always fail because it is never reported to ESXI.
If there was an option to disable the IP checking and continue running without reporting a failure, that would fix my problem.
Alternatively, pinging a configurable IP address with a configurable period to wait after a ping succeeds would also work (because pinging doesn't necessarily mean other services like sshd are up and running to the point where they accept connections. For instance:
Timeout: 180 <---- This exists already
Ping: 192.168.1.1
After Ping Succeeds, Wait: 20 seconds
If Timeout expires before Ping succeeds, then fail the test.
Once ping succeeds, Timeout is no longer applicable, just wait the configured duration.
