The VMware vCenter Observer for AIOps should be capable of ingesting vMotion Events

To maximise the utility of topology information gathered by the vCenter Observer, it should be possible for the Observer to retrieve and associate vMotion alerts along with the actual topologies. This will provide context and rationale for any changes observed in the Topologies between ingestion runs, which is valuable information for any user to understand changes and any associated issues with systems under their domain of interest.

The set of alerts relevant to this topic are shown in the Instana documentation at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability?topic=instana-monitoring-vsphere#ariaid-title19

    Event collection is typical orthogonal and asynchronous to topology collection given they occur at different frequencies and can be disjoint, i.e. the events may be useful in absence of topology. This sounds like it'd be better serviced by ensuring we have an appropriate alert integration to vCenter that works in parallel to the observer. We could do what some observers do and get state at topology collection time but I think the need to do that wanes somewhat unless its data not exposed by an alert system and/or it's acceptable for it to be [likely] stale as it'll be a function of observer frequency if it does the event collection.
