Using Datacenter Objects. Rules do not match

I would like to use Datacenter objects. I have set up a connection to our Vcenter. The connection is shown as "connected" and I can also impot objects and use them in rules. The problem is that the rules do not match. I don't understand why. Does Cloud Guard need to be enabled for this perhaps? As I understand it, all you have to do is connect to a Vcenter and you can use the objects. The mgmt is running R81 and the gateway is running R80.30.

Is "Identity Awareness" and the "Identity Web API" enabled on the gateway?
