Events not shown in get-vievent

Similar Questions

• Look at a record events with get-vievent

  How can I use get-vievent to see everything that follows?

  -All exports of VMS in vCenter

  -All exports of virtual machines in an ESXi host

  -All downloads of files vmdk to a store of data using client operations or copy of Vmware on the vmdk from the dcui / ssh console?

  The idea is to see every time a vmdk left the environment.

  You can report export (EGGS or OVF) with the following

  $start = (get-Date). AddHours(-1)

  Get-VIEvent-Start $start - MaxSamples ([int]: MaxValue) |

  where {$_-is [VMware.Vim.TaskEvent] - and $_.Info.DescriptionId - eq "VirtualMachine.ExportVmLRO"} |

  Select CreatedTime,UserName,@{N='VM'; E={$_. UMM name}}, FullFormattedMessage,

  @{N = 'Event'; {E = {$_.Info.DescriptionId}}

  Download files through the browser data store does not all events as far as I know.

• Get-VIEvent - how to export the event type?  error, warning, or info

  Hello

  I know that the Get-VIEvent command allows you to specify the type of events to get back... that is to say [-Types < EventCategory [>]

  but, I want to extract all the events and export them to a CSV file. I want one of the columns to be "EventCategory", which will be ERROR, WARNING, or INFO, but I can't seem to find it.  $_. GetType(). Name gets me the type of event, but not the category.  I know that I can have my script executed 3 times (each time specifying the - parameter Types) but I want to run only once.  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello, horningj-

  I worked on a few elements that should attract the event category.  The first selects a few properties, including a calculated property that gets the event category:

  ## works well if no events of type 'EventEx'## get the .Net View object of the EventManager (used for getting the event Category) $viewEventMgr = Get-View EventManager ## get some VIEvents, select a few properties, including a calculated property for EventCategory Get-VIEvent | Select FullFormattedMessage, CreatedTime, @{n="EventCategory"; e={$strThisEventType = $_.GetType().Name; ($viewEventMgr.Description.EventInfo | ?{$_.Key -eq $strThisEventType}).Category}}
  

  It becomes VIEvents (the last 100, because I did not specify the parameter - MaxSamples) and returns the properties of data.  The calculated "EventCategory" property uses the type of the VIEvent object to search for in the collection of items EventDescriptionEventDetail in ownership eventInfo found in .net object View for the EventManager.  He then grabs the 'Category' of the corresponding element of EventDescriptionEventDetail property.

  Works fine unless you have any VIEvents type "EventEx" - then, this 'research' in EventDescriptionEventDetail collection method fails, because there is more than one element of this type (there are 91 of them at the moment).

  This led me to the next bit.  It is similar to the previous method, but it handles EventEx events too:

  ## get the .Net View object of the EventManager (used for getting the event Category)$viewEventMgr = Get-View EventManager
  
  ## get some VIEvents (the last 100, as "-MaxSamples" is not specified) Get-VIEvent | %{    ## put the pipeline varible into another variable; get its type    $oThisEvent = $_; $strThisEventType = $_.GetType().Name    ## if this event is of type "EventEx"    if ($strThisEventType -eq "EventEx") {        $strEventTypeId = $oThisEvent.EventTypeId;        ## get the EventInfo item (of type EventDescriptionEventDetail) whose "FullFormat" property begins with the EventTypeId of the VIEvent at hand, and get its "Category" property        $strCategory = ($viewEventMgr.Description.EventInfo | ?{$strRegexPattern = "^$strEventTypeId\|.*"; $_.FullFormat -match $strRegexPattern}).Category    } ## end if     ## else, can just grab the EventInfo item whose "Key" is the same as this event's type    else {$strCategory = ($viewEventMgr.Description.EventInfo | ?{$_.Key -eq $strThisEventType}).Category}    ## add a NoteProperty "EventCategory" to this event    $oThisEvent | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name EventCategory -Value $strCategory -PassThru} | Select FullFormattedMessage, CreatedTime, EventCategory
  

  It seems that the EventTypeId of the event returned by Get-VIEvent is included in the first part of the property FullFormat of elements EventDescriptionEventDetail with EventEx key, separate from the rest of the value by a vertical pipe.  Thus, the EventTypeId of the VIEvents can be used to make a match on EventEx of events .net EventManager View object types to get the event 'category' (info, warning, error, user).

  You can, of course, change the Select statements to choice/choose the pieces of information you want to export and then export to a file of data as you please.

  How does do for you?

  Thnx a lot

  The following should do what you want.

  Note that I have export text to a CSV file, which makes it easier to see the different areas

• When you use fireftp I use the FTP user name and password to connect, but then when I try to connect I get "password not shown" in the lower left corner. Why?

  That's what shows the box below:

  331 user [email protected] OK. Password required

        PASS (password not shown)
  

  Many terminal-style applications remove the password from appearing in the journal of communication, to protect any person who could later read the newspaper. I think that FireFTP that emule. It is important to be able to view the password?

• Filtering some results in Get-VIEvent

  How would be to filter the results of Get-VIEvent or other specific keywords in the FullFormattedMessage, or by the MessageInfo property?

  I'm trying to use Get-VIEvent to get a list of warning and error events and want to filter the "insufficient result of RAM video.

  I am trying to filter either by the insufficient "vidéo RAM" text in the property of FullFormattedMessage, or the result of "{msg.svgaUI.badLimits}" in the MessageInfo property.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello, aydeisen-

  You can use a statement Where-Object to filter the events as you wish.  As:

  Get-VIEvent | Where-Object {    ($_.FullFormattedMessage -like "*Insufficient video RAM*") -or    ($_.MessageInfo | ?{$_.id -like "*msg.svgaUI.badLimits*"})} ## end where-object
  

  This verifies VIEvents whose FullFormattedMessage property is as the given string, or whose MessageInfo property (which is zero or more objects of VirtualMachineMessage ) is an VirtualMachineMessage object with the id as the given string property.

  Of course, you will use the other Get-VIEvent settings for changing the scope of the events gathered initially (for a given entity, a time limit given, maxSamples, etc.).  How does do for you?

• host name of output of get-vievent filter

  Hi guys,.

  I have a question about the host name filtering in an output of get-vievent. for example, I tried to extract only the host name of the following command:

  Get-VIEvent - maxsamples 20000 | where {$_.} GetType(). Name - eq "VmRemovedEvent"} | Sort descending Createduserid | Select FullFormattedMessage

  Already tried some things like split and toppings, but this does not work for me.

  The name of the server is always based on a ground known as SERVER-< description >.

  Sure. For the removed VM also is just an additional line of PowerCLI:

  Get-VIEvent -maxsamples 20000 |
  where {$_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmRemovedEvent"} |
  Sort CreatedTime -Descending |
  Select @{N="VMHost";E={$_.Host.Name}},
    @{N="VM";E={$_.Vm.Name}}
  

• Get-VIEvent question

  I'm trying to generate a list of all users who are connected.  I have this command and it works, but I would exclude 1 or more users of this list, which is "root".

  Here is the command I use.

  $events = get-VIEvent - MaxSamples 1000

  foreach ($event in $events) {if ($event.fullFormattedMessage - match '(.*)@\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b connected the user') {Write-Host ('User' + $matches [1] + "" connected to: "+ $event.createdTime")}}

  Hi, mchunger,

  This should work for you, if you know the names you want to exclude:

  $excl = @(«root», «admin», «dcui»)

  foreach ($event in $events) {if ($excl - notcontains $event.username) {if ($event.fullFormattedMessage - match '(.*)@\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b connected the user') {Write-Host ('User' + $matches [1] + "" connected to: "+ $event.createdTime")}}}

• Get-vievent formatted output

  Hello Luke,.

  Instead of the select-object cmdlet, I would use format-table - Autosize. If I do this, I can only direct to cmdlet convertto-html I want. What is the trick here? I need an output formatted due to FullFormattedMessage.

  $fileloc = "c:\error.csv".
  $vievents = get-VIEvent-start (Get-Date). AddHours(-24)-Types 'mistake ' |
  Select-object Createduserid, username, FullFormattedMessage |
  Export-Csv-path $fileloc - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  Thank you

  You must use a Format-* cmdlet only as the last cmdlet in a pipeline. The Select-Object cmdlet is used to select only the properties that you want. To better keep this cmdlet. You can convert the output to html format with:

  $a = ""
  
  Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-24) -Types "Error" |
  Select-Object CreatedTime, UserName, FullFormattedMessage |
  ConvertTo-HTML -head $a -body "
  VI Events Information
  " |
  Out-File VIEvents.htm
  
  Start VIEvents.htm

• Don't PowerCLI v5 changes that behaves in the way that get-vievent?

  Hi all

  I just installed v5 powerCLI and some scripts I was using don't work anymore.

  the get-vievent-start (get-date command).adddays(-2) that I have used to analyze events in the course of the last 2 days, is now back only a few events, all of the current day.

  is - anyone notice the same behavior?

  Hello, nicolasbouyssy-

  Hmm, strange.  So, if you run the line of your script that gets the desired events and count the number of items that it returns is - this superior to the default value of 100?  In other words, something like:

  (Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-2)).Count
  

  I understand wanting to have things run fast.  Can possibly restrict you the events that you retrieve by specifying an array of entities for which to get the events (using parameter - entity), either by limiting the event types with the parameter - Types (to represent types of error, Info, or Warning)?

  Regarding, "unless it is smart enough to stop navigation when the date is reached" - Yes, it must be the behavior when you use the MaxSamples parameter with - Start - it will return up to MaxSamples number of events, but none is older than the specified start date.  So, if there are 100000 events, but only 2200 in the past two days, specifying for MaxSamples 100000 with a start of two days should return only 2200 events.

  As for fixing the MaxSamples number to cover all events - I assumed that to be sure that you get all you can, you can use the maximum value for MaxSamples.  It's a [int32], whose maximum value is 2,147,483,647 (which is (2 ^ 31) - 1).  So to be sure you have found all the events gave as you can, you can use this maximum value for MaxSamples, as such:

  Get-VIEvent -MaxSamples 2147483647 -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-15)
  

  Or, using mathematics (maybe for readability):

  Get-VIEvent -MaxSamples ([Math]::pow(2,31) - 1) -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-15)
  

  But, filtering of events on some of the other things mentioned above (type, entity) apparently is a good idea before the entry to get about 2 ^ 31 events...

• Qosmio-F750-10N and Win8.1 - were not able to get the right BT drivers

  Hello

  Since upgrading my HARD drive and installing Windows 8 (.1), I was not able to get the right drivers for my Qosmio F750-10N Bluetooth.

  If I go through the section of drivers download site, the drop-down boxes of language and the region appear to be defective, so it shows me all the drivers.

  Tried to install a Toshiba Bluetooth stack generic but it doesn't seem to be able to recognize my Bluetooth device. Also tried to go through the Atheros website without much luck.

  Please could someone help or maybe post a link to a download mirror.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  First of all, it seems that the 8.1 win is not supported for Qosmio F750.
  So I might be difficult to operate BT

  However, AFAIK the Qosmio F750-10N was equipped with an Atheros AR9285 Wifi/BT card.

  This means that a single module shares the WiFi network and BT and you need to install the Atheros BT filter driver.
  Next to the BT filter installed, must install the driver of Toshiba system to win 8.1
  The pilot of this system must be installed before the filter of BT driver.

  But like I said: 8.1 win is not supported for this Qosmio unit and you won't find drivers Win 8.1 download section in the driver F750.

  But you should try the drivers released for the other, more recent Qosmio series; i.e. X 870

  Good luck
