Export of Get-VIEvent event

• 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?

  * The message has been edited by mattboren on April 5, 2011 - added line at the beginning of the second piece of code '$viewEventMgr = Get-view event Manager.  It was already in the first room and assumes that the user has run the two parts in the same session, but added for completeness.

• 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.

• Events not shown in get-vievent

  What types of events are NOT displayed in

  Get-vievent?

  For example, suppose that a user connects to a server ESXi directly, rather than connecting to vCenter Server.  This ESXi server is managed by the vcenter Server.  Everything is done on the ESXi server can still to report through

  '

  Get-vievent

  the server vCenter Server?

  What could be missing if I don't

  Get-vievent - username 'ADDOMAIN\adusername '.

  the server vCenter for this user?

  Server ESXi and vCenter server have their own set of events.

  As you can easily check with my Event-O-Matic script, when you connect to a server ESXi and vCenter server.

  ESXi events, both there are connectivity, are copied to the vCenter by the vpxa service that runs on the ESXi.

  So in theory you should, as far as I know, see all ESXi appearing in the vCenter events events & tasks

  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. .

  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.

  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

  Get-VIEvent-body $vm - MaxSamples ([int]: MaxValue) |

• 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

  Failed to get the IP address on this script.

  Thank you for giving if any good script to get vSphere HA restarted event when the host failure.

  Try like this

  Get-Cluster 'test ' | Get - VM |

  Get-VIEvent |

  where {$_.} FullFormattedMessage-match 'vSphere virtual machine rebooted HA'} |

  Select ObjectName,@{N="IP addr; E = {(Get-vue-Id $_.)} {{Vm.Vm). Guest.IpAddress}}, Createduserid, FullFormattedMessage

  Not sure property you are trying to achieve with ObjectName.

• 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?

• 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")}}}

• 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...

  I am having trouble pushing results table in an object and then adding the members of the object to an array.  I have had success using the slot method in the past, but I've only tried (previously) with a cmdlet.  In the example below, I'm piping several cmdlets.  Basically, $vms outputs very well, but I can't get any instantiated table to fill later.  The $mainArray will always send as null in the email.  Any ideas?  I really don't want to get vievent in the foreach loop, as it will really slow down the query.

  $mainArray = @)

  $userArray = @)

  $timeArray = @)

  $msgArray = @)

  $CDT = get-Date

  $vms = get - VM | Get-VIEvent-Types of information - start $CDT. AddDays(-30)-finishing $CDT | Where {$_.} GetType(). Name - eq "VmBeingDeployedEvent" - or $_. GetType(). Name - eq "VmCreatedEvent" - or $_. GetType(). Name - eq "VmRegisteredEvent"} | Select the username, Createduserid, FullFormattedMessage | Format-Table - AutoSize

  foreach ($vm to $vms)

  {

  $username = $vm. Username

  $createdTime = $vm. Createduserid

  $msg = $vm. FullFormattedMessage

  $userArray += $username

  $timeArray += $createdTime

  $msgArray += $msg

  }

  For ($i = 0; $i - lt $userArray.Count; $i ++)

  {

  $item = new-Object PSObject

  $item | Add-Member-type NoteProperty-Name "UserName" - value $userArray [$i]

  $item | Add-Member-type NoteProperty - name "time created" - value $timeArray [$i]

  $item | Add-Member-type NoteProperty-Name 'Message' - value $msgArray [$i]

  $mainArray += $item

  Why if complicated, what follows should give the same result.

• Get-VIEvent to find the name of vm?

  Hello

  Is it possible to get the name of the vm get-vievent?

  I'll try to find all the VMS created in the last day (easy), then get - vm... basic idea...

  Get-VIEvent - maxsamples 20000 - Start (Get-Date). AddDays(-1) | where {$_.} GetType(). Name - eq "VmBeingDeployedEvent | VmCreatedEvent | VmRegisteredEvent | VmClonedEvent"} | Select the username, Createduserid, FullFormattedMessage |
  % {get - vm $vm}

  Thanks for the help!

  I don't watch carefully your Where clause, it should be like the code above.

  Please try like this.
