• Format exit via Export-CSV to include spaces in the row headings?

  Format exit via Export-CSV to include spaces in the row headings? I get errors when putting spaces in the code.

  How to export data via export-csv to place spaces in the header line? That is to say. in script below... I need the header lines VMName and IPAddress to have spaces in them as 'Name VM' and 'IP address '?

  *****************

  Get - VM | %{

  $vmGuest = $_. Get-VMGuest

  $row = "" | Select VMName, OS, host, CPU, IPAddress

  $row. VMname = $_. Name

  etc...

  You can place spaces in the properties of the object like this:

  Get-VM | %{
    $vmGuest = $_ | Get-VMGuest
    $row = "" | Select "VM Name", State, OS, Host, CPU, "IP Address"
    $row."VM Name" = $_.Name
  etc .....

• Include the attribute custom report (Export-Csv)

  I am writing a script to report on disk / the use of the capacity for each virtual machine in the environment.

  I try to include a column in the generated report (CSV), which includes the CustomField/CustomAttributes for each virtual computer as well as the news of disk capacity.  The report runs fine, but after you export the report to CSV (Export-Csv using) the newly created column just to the custom attribute field displays the following parameters for each line/entry:

  VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Util.ReadOnlyDictionary'2 (System.String, System.String)

  When I use out-file it works, but formatting is very obscured...

  Here's the function/script that I use, I 'bolded in Red' the part of the script which I believe is the origin of the problem:

  Function Get-VMGuestDiskUsage {}
  (param
  [parameter (valuefrompipeline = $true required = $true, HelpMessage = "enter an entity vm")]
  ([VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Inventory.VirtualMachineImpl] $VM)
  {in process
  $ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue".
  foreach ($disk in $VM. Guest.Disks) {}
  $objDisk = new-Object System.Object
  $objDisk | Add-Member - MemberType NoteProperty-VM name-value $VM. Name
  $objDisk | Add-Member - MemberType NoteProperty-name of Volume-value $disk. Path
  $objDisk | Add-Member - MemberType NoteProperty-CapacityMB name-value ([math]: round ($disk.) Capacity / 1 MB))
  $objDisk | Add-Member - MemberType NoteProperty-FreeSpaceMB name-value ([math]: round ($disk.) FreeSpace / 1 MB))
  $objDisk | Add-Member - MemberType NoteProperty - percent use of name-value ('{0:p2}' f (($disk.))) Capacity - $disk. FreeSpace) / $disk. Capacity))
  $objDisk | Add-Member - MemberType NoteProperty-name CustomFields-value ($VM. CustomFields)
  $objDisk
  }
  }
  }

  Get - VM * | Get-VMGuestDiskUsage | Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation c:\scripts\output\test.csv

  Any help is greatly appreciated!  Also please let me know if I did a poor job explaining the scenario and what I'm after here.

  Hello, jSun311-

  Because the property "CustomFields" itself is an object, and you try to get out of the strings to the CSV format, you must manage the object.  You can replace the line in question by something like:

  $objDisk | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name CustomFields -Value (($VM.CustomFields | %{"$($_.Key) = $($_.Value)"}) -join ",")
  

  Which would result in the output for the column that might look like:

  dTestAttrib0 = someValue,dTestAttrib1 = AnotherValue
  

  In other words, there is a list separated by characters of the key/value pairs in the CustomFields property for the virtual machine.

  In addition, if you are interested, you might be able to clean up your code a bit by using the '-property ' New-Object parameter.  As:

  ...foreach ($disk in $VM.Guest.disks) {    New-Object PSObject -Property @{        VM = $VM.Name        Volume = $disk.Path        CapacityMB = [math]::Round($disk.Capacity / 1MB)        FreeSpaceMB = [math]::Round($disk.FreeSpace/1MB)        "Usage%" = "{0:p2}" -f (($disk.Capacity - $disk.FreeSpace) / $disk.Capacity)        CustomFields = ($VM.CustomFields | %{"$($_.Key) = $($_.Value)"}) -join ","    } ## end new-object} ## end foreach...
  

  In this way, you shouldn't bother with calls Add-Member and repetitive cases here.  Enjoy.

• Virtual MACHINE created on date export csv - get - vm testvm works but says testvm get-vmcreationdate is not found.

  Hello

  I entered the following two functions in my shell powercli

  Two functions I have installed

  function {Get-VMEvents < #. . Logbook Get events for an entity or query all events. . Description This function returns the events for the entities. It is very similar to cmdlet Get-vievent. Please note that get-VMEvent can handle 1 vm at a time. You can't send picture of vms in this version of the script. . Example of Get-VMEvents 0All-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent", "VmClonedEvent". He will receive all events of type "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent" 'VmClonedEvent '. . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - type 'VmCreatedEvent '. Will be out of the events of creation of virtual machine: "vm1. It's faster than the vms piping is of result of Get - vm. There is no need to use get - vm to move names to get-vmevents. Yet, it is OK when you do, it will be just a little more slow < span class = "wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-blink of eye" title = ';') > ;) </span > . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - category 'WARNING '. Will be out all events for vm: 'vm1. It is is faster than the names of piping of cmdlet Get - vm. Category will get-vmevent to search only the defined category events. . Example of Get - vm "vm1 | Get-VMEvents-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent". Shows events for vm1 which will be regarding the events of creation,. and events when when / what mac address is assigned . VM parameter This setting is a unique string that represents the name of the vm. He expects this single vm name There in the virtual Center. Now in the first version of the script, it will only load a case where there is 1 instance of vm selected name. In the future it will load multiple as Well. . Types of parameters If none is specified, it will return all the events. If specified will return Only the events with selected types. For example: "VmCreatedEvent." "VmDeployedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent" "VmClonedEvent", etc... . Category of a parameter Possible categories are: warning, info, error. Please use this setting if you you want to filter events. .

  function get-vmcreationdate {}

  < #.

  . Logbook

  Gets if possible virtual machine created.

  . Description

  This function will return the object with information about the creation time, method, of months,.

  creator of particular virtual machine.

  VMname: SomeVM12

  Createduserid: 10/08/2012 11:48:18

  CreatedMonth: August

  CreationMethod: cloned

  Creator: office\greg

  This function displays NoEvent property in case when your VC do not

  more information on these specific events, or your vm events no longer have

  entries for the subject being created. If your VC data base has more tension date it is no longer possible

  you find this event.

  . Example of

  Get-VMCreationdate - VMnames 'my_vm1', 'My_otherVM '.

  This will return items that contain date information of creating virtual machines with names

  myvm1 and myvm2

  . Example of

  Get-VM-location 'Cluster1 | Get-VMCreationdate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  Located in Cluster1

  . Example of

  Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine - SearchRoot (get-datacenter "mydc") user.user | Get-VMCreationDate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  located in the data center "mydc" container If you use this feature in an existing loop where you

  having the cmdlet get-view virtual machines, you can pass them via pipes or as a parameter VMnames.

  . Example of

  $report = get-cluster "cl-01' | Get-VMCreationdate

  $report | Export-csv c:\myreport.csv

  Stores all reported creationtimes object in the array $report variable and export the report to a csv file.

  You can also filter the report before you write in the csv file using select

  $report | Where-Object {$_.} {CreatedMonth - eq "October"} | Select VMName, CreatedMonth

  So that you see only the vms that have been created in October.

  . Example of

  Get-vmcreationdate - VMnames "my_vm1", testvm55

  WARNING: my_vm1 is not found, typo?

  VMname: testvm55

  Createduserid: 05/10/2012 14:24:03

  CreatedMonth: October

  CreationMethod: NewVM

  Creator: home\greg

  In case when you receive virtual machine that is not appropriate in the infrastructure of yor, a warning is displayed.

  You can always store the full text of the report in the $report variable, but it includes all the information on

  dates of creation of the missing vm. A warning always only for your information there is

  probably a typing mistake in the name of the virtual machine.

  . Parameter VMnames

  This parameter must contain objects of virtual machine or strings representing vm

  names. It is possible to supply this function wiith VM objects coming from get - vm or

  get - view.

  Now, if I use the first command

  But if I do

  Get-vmcreationdate testvm

  he responds with

  WARNING: testvm is not found. misspelling?

  I can't understand why he says this?

  What will be the final objective to query the server vcenter set and export a CSV of the creation of each day VM - is their an easier way to do it?

  I was intending to use

  get - vm | Get-VMCreationDate | Export-Csv-path "d:\\reports\vmcreationinventory.csv ".

  But at the present time, each unique virtual machine is indicating "is not found."

  Attached is an example with a virtual machine called gbvls

  Although you may be better communicate with the author of these functions, from what I can tell, it seems to indicate that none of the specified events were found for these virtual machines.

  You can check if there are targeted with the cmdlet Get-VIEvent ordinary events.

  If you can see events, there could be a problem with the Get-VMEvents function.

  $vmName = 'testvm '.

  $tgtEvents = "VmBeingDeployedEvent", "VmRegisteredEvent", "VmClonedEvent", "VmBeingCreatedEvent".

  $vm = get-VM-name $vmName

• Understanding Export-CSV

  Hello world

  I am writing (try it, I should say) to write a script that retrieves from vCenter all ESX hosts and for each host retrieves the guests (by selecting the name, powerstate, host, it feeds and memory) AND Gets the data store for each host) by selecting the name of DS, freespace and tot capacity).

  I don't get the release scheduled in my CSV file I was hoping. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I assumed that my data through the variable - $esxHost and so O which must pass the export.

  
  

  Variable #Initialize

  $Hosts = 0

  $esxHost = 0

  $Hosts = get-vmHost

  {foreach ($esxHost in $Hosts)

  Get - VM | Select name powerstate, host, memoryMB

  Get-Datastore. Select name, freespacemb, capacitymb}

  $esxHost | Export-Csv "C:\LUN_Report.csv" - noTypeInformation

  JindiJee,

  It should be able to do what you are looking for. Although this operation generates two CSVs because it's really two separate reports you're looking for.

  Unless you try to print the data store for the virtual machine on the same line as the virtual machine, it would be a little different.

  This script creates a hash table which is a nice way to push around then he in a CSV file.

  You could cut this one place to make it more "One-liner", but it should help convey the image.

  Let me know if you get this job or if it does not have what you think.

  The first creates two hash tables and slapping in two CSVs. If you want to see your separate your VMS data warehouses.

  The second script will add the data to the first hash store and list with the virtual machine. It is not configured to manage virtual machines with disks on more than 1 data store. This can be done with a few adjustments.

  Guess I was bored... I added the 3rd which will add a line in your CSV for each data store associated with a virtual machine... This means that your VM can be included more than once, but it lists every DS.

  This should give you a good idea on how you can play with the export to CSVs I like installation of hash table.

• Export csv button call don't link not?

  GDay,
  
  I was wondering if it is possible to call the export csv via a button feature and functionality of default hyperlink?
  
  See you soon

  Hello

  You really need to mess with two models - the region one and a new button we.

  First of all, update model area of the report to include the following in the upper part of the setting "Template":

  <script type="text/javascript">
  var regionid="#REGION_ID#"
  </script>
  

  Note that this must be done on the model of the report, even if you put your button in another region because we need value REGION_ID report

  Now create a new model of button called, say, "Export" button The 'model' for this must be set:

  <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="t12Button" onclick="doExport();">Export</a>
  

  This was based on a standard model of button "button. If you use a different style of button, adjust accordingly - you need the same attributes href and onclick as shown above, but nothing else can be unchanged.

  Finally, the parameter header HTML of the page, add:

  <script type="text/javascript">
  function doExport()
  {
   var url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION.:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_' + regionid + '_en';
   document.location.href=url;
  }
  </script>
  

  You can now change your button in a button-based model by using the new export button.

  Note that, as we are assigning to a javascript variable, 1 REGION_ID only this button can exist on a page.

• Import of csv - Cluster Get - Export csv

  Hello community vmware,

  I'm looking for a script simple ps import a list of vm (based on a csv file that I feed into it).

  I would then result to a csv file of the 2 column (1 column with the name of the virtual machine) and the other with the corresponding cluster name, in that it is.

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Try something like this

  It assumes that your input CSV file looks like this

  Name

  VM1

  VM2

  $report = import-Csv - UseCulture names.cvs | %{

  Get-VM-name $_. Name |

  Select Name,@{N='Cluster'; E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_______ |} Select name - ExpandProperty}}

  }

  $report | Export Csv report.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

• UseCulture - Import/Export-Csv - switch. What is it?

  Salvation;

  I've seen a lot of references for the parameter - UseCulture importing content or exporters results of scripts to/from csv files. I tried in vain to find a real description or purpose of this function. Can anyone help direct me as to where I can find it or clarify on this setting?

  Thank you. Ron

  It forces the cmdlet Export-Csv to use the separator used in your locale to use.

  By default there is a comma, but in other regions, it may for example be a semicolon.

  # parse info to be html ,and give it date stamp
  
  $ReportHtml = ($report | ConvertTo-Html | out-String)
  
  # Write out CSV file and give it a Data Stamp

• Export-csv column order

  Is there a way to control or to format the output to a CSV of powercli?  It seems that columns are always just in random order and I would be able to dictate that.

  The problem is not with the Export-Csv cmdlet, but with the way in which the properties are stored in an object by PowerShell.

  In PowerShell v2, you can explicitly specify the order before the Export-CSV

  $array | Select prop1, prop1, prop2 | Export Csv C:\file.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  In PowerShell v3, you now have the casting [ordered].

  See Export-Xlsx, the suite and the data ordered, who throw also works with Export-Csv

• Export-Csv several files

  It is asked that we list all powered on virtual machines in a cluster to backup purposes.  I am able to get this information into a CSV file.  However, the backup engineer want a single file for each proxy server that uses this file to save these list of virtual machines.

  A simple way to do this is the same as this:

  # Author: Rhys Campbell
  # 2009-09-22
  # Split csv files
  # Path to the csv file. Must contain a sequential unique whole ID column
  $csvFile = "$Env:USERPROFILE\bigcsvFile.csv";
  # Slot in how many files?
  $split = 10;
  # Get the content of the csv file
  $content = import-Csv $csvFile.
  # If we start with Id = 1 in the csv file
  $start = 1;
  $end = 0;
  documents calc # per file
  $records_per_file = [ent] [Math]: ceiling ($content.) Count / $split);
  for ($i = 1; $i - $split; $i ++)
  {
  # Set the value of end of selection of records
  $end += $records_per_file;
  # Need to cast to int or we get an alphabetical comparison when we want a digital
  $content | Where-Object {[int] $_.} ID - ge $start - and [int] $_. ID - the $end} | Export-Csv-Path "$Env:USERPROFILE\file$ i.csv '-NoTypeInformation;
  # Update the starting value for record selection
  $start = $end + 1;

  }
  

  Save the script as a .ps1 file, for example, New - VMProxyFile.ps1 and run it as:

  . \New-VMProxyFile-cluster "YourClustername".

  Proxy file numbers starting by 0. I hope this isn't a problem.

• result of foreach not getting attached to the export-csv

  Hello people,

  I am trying to learn powercli. I use under commads to get information for VMs. looks like the results not add in the csv file. CSV file shows the result of the latest VM in import-csv file.

  Q1 - can you please help identify what is bad in the commands below?

  Q2 - How can I use a single export-csv command to get an output of lines both (get - vm and get-cluster)?

  $vmname = import-csv "C:\vmname.csv".
  {foreach ($_.name in $vmname)}
  Get - vm $_.name | Select 'Name', 'Host ' | export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vmname-host-info.csv
  Get-cluster - vm $_.name | Select 'name ' | export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vmcluster-info.csv}

  Thank you!

  You're crushed the CSV file with each iteration of the loop.

  Why do you want to produce 2 CSV files? Is it not easier to keep all the info in 1 file?

  Her you could do something like that

  $vmname = import-csv "C:\vmname.csv".
  & {{foreach ($_.name in $vmname)}}
  Get - vm $_.name | Select 'Name","Host",@{N="Cluster '; E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_______ |} Select name - ExpandProperty}}

  }} | Export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vm-info.csv

  But the best is to use the track more PowerShell

  $vmname = import-csv "C:\vmname.csv".

  Get-VM-name $vmname |

  Select Name,Host,@{N="Cluster; E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_______ |} Select name - ExpandProperty}} |

  Export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vm-info.csv

• Strange output from Get - VM... A cruise ship Export-CSV

  If I type this in PowerCLI I get expected results

  Get-Datacenter -name "name of my datacenter" | Get-VM | Where { ($_ | Get-CDDrive).ISOPath } | FT -auto Name, @{Label="OS"; Expression = { $_.Guest.OSFullName }}, @{Label="ISO file"; Expression = { ($_ | Get-CDDrive).ISOPath }}

  But if I try to export to a CSV file

  Get-Datacenter -name "name of my datacenter" | Get-VM | Where { ($_ | Get-CDDrive).ISOPath } | FT -auto Name, @{Label="OS"; Expression = { $_.Guest.OSFullName }}, @{Label="ISO file"; Expression = { ($_ | Get-CDDrive).ISOPath }} | Export-CSV virtual_machines_mounted_ISO.csv

  I get output like this:
