description:
 This check reports the enabled state of the appliance access methods of a
 VMware vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA): SSH, the Direct Console User
 Interface, the BASH shell and the console-based controlled CLI. The data is
 retrieved by the special agent {agent_vcsa_health}.

 Whether any given method should be enabled is a site policy decision rather
 than a universal one, so the service is {OK} regardless of the current state
 by default and simply reports which methods are enabled. Use the ruleset
 "VCSA access settings" to declare the expected state per method, and the
 service then reports configuration drift against that policy.

discovery:
 One service is created per appliance.
