Filtering some results in Get-VIEvent

• 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}}
  

• 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...

• While playing some games I get different blue screens. Include messages: WHEA ERROR INCORRIGIBLE and a common one is CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMEOUT.

  They have been linked to the material (since obviously you re-installed), two of them were corrupted because of the speed of the accident.

  If you're a clocking over please return to default (overclocking pushes the material beyond the design of the ists)

  Please run a malwarebytes scan before starting on the underside

  Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
  Update immediately.
  Do a full scan of the system
  Let us know the results at the end.

  Stop 0 x 124 is a hardware error
  If you are overclocking try to reset your settings to standard processor and see if that helps.
  If you keep getting the BSOD here are things more than you may want.
  This is usually hardware related, defective heat, memory or processor even if it is "possible" he is associated (rare) driver.
  
  Stop 0 x 124 - what it means and what to try
  Synopsis:
  A "stop 0 x 124" is fundamentally different from many other types of bluescreens because it arises from a complaint of material.
  Stop 0 x 124 minidumps contain very little concrete information, and it is therefore necessary to address the problem as a case of material in an unknown state of distress.
  

  Generic troubleshooting ' Stop 0 x 124 ":

  1) to ensure that none of the hardware components are overclocked. Material which is pushed beyond its design specifications - by overclocking - may malfunction in unpredictable ways.
  (2) ensure that the machine is sufficiently cooled.
  If there is doubt, open the side of the case (be aware of all the relevant conditions guaranteed!) PC and direct an electric fan squarely to the motherboard. Who will rule on most cooling problems (lack of).
  3) update all drivers related to materials: video, sound, RAID (if applicable), NIC... anything that interacts with a piece of hardware.
  It is best to run the latest drivers anyway.
  (4) update the BIOS of your motherboard according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  Their website should provide detailed instructions on the brand and model-specific procedure.
  (5) rarely, bugs in the operating system may cause "false positives" 0 x 124 events where the hardware wasn't complaining, but Windows thought otherwise (because of the bug).
  At the time of writing, Windows 7 does not have to suffer from a defect, but it is nevertheless important to keep Windows up-to-date.
  6) trying (stress) test these hardware components that can be put to the test artificially.
  The most obvious examples are the RAM and HDD (s).
  For the RAM, use the 3 rd-party memtest86 utility to run several hours a test value. (6-8 passes to stress the ram)
  For hard drives, verify if CHKDSK /R finds any problems on (s), including "bad sectors".
  Unreliable RAM, in particular, is mortal, as well as software, and anything other than a 100% clear memory test result is cause for concern. Unfortunately, even a 100% clear result the diagnostic utilities does not guarantee that the RAM is free of any defect - only that none have been encountered during the test passes.

  
  7) as the last of the non-invasive troubleshooting steps, perform a "Vanilla" Windows reinstallation: just the OS itself without additional applications, games, utilities, updates, new drivers - or ANYTHING that does not come from the Windows 7 disc.
  Who stops working mitigate the problem of the 0 x 124, jump to the next step.
  If you run the "Vanilla" installation long enough to convince yourself that not a single 0 x 124 accident occurred, start installing applications and updates slowly, always stopping between successive additions long enough to get an idea of the question if the machine is still free of 0 x 124 breaks down.
  Smash back, obviously the latest addition of software may be somehow connected to the root cause.
  If the stop error 0 x 124 persist despite the above steps, and the equipment is under warranty, consider to go back and ask for a replacement that does not suffer periodic MCE events.
  Be aware that want to perform the subsequent hardware troubleshooting steps can, in some cases, void your warranty:
  (8) clean and carefully remove the dust inside the machine.
  Reinstall all memory modules and connectors.
  Use a can of compressed air to clean the RAM DIMM supports as much as possible.
  (9) If all else fails, start removing items of hardware one by one in the hope that the culprit is something non-essential that can be eliminated.
  Obviously, this type of testing is much easier if you have access to equivalent components in order to perform swaps.

  If you are in the situation to have completed all the steps above without a resolution of the symptom, unfortunately the most likely reason is that the error message is literally correct - something is fundamentally wrong with the hardware of the machine.

• 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!

  Jeff

  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.

• I'm doing a script that takes a list of e-mail from a text file and then allow me to select a save as a string. I found some ways to get the path of the file, but I'm in check by pulling the list

  I found some ways to get the path of the file, but I am defeated by pulling the list from that. the function of the path get gives me the path as "Macintosh Users:: Documents: extractedb.txt (myUsername).

  What I can't understand is how to get a dialog box to display a list that represents the content in the text file, I need to change the contents of the text file, I need the box to show me what I chose and I want to save my selection as a single string.

  example of extractedb.txt information:

  I want this is to pull those emails from the text file and turn them into a list so I can get to be a selection in my dialog box.

  Any help would be great = D

  Assuming you have a text file with your example e-mail addresses, the following AppleScript will read this file in a list (mf_List) and then use this list as input to choose among the list. Because multiple selection is allowed (control button), the output is sent to a list (sel_addr). We check if the Cancel button was pressed by testing for false and if this condition is met, we the script error.  Based on a single or multiple list item content of the list, display accordingly.

  game of mf to ((path to the folder as text) & "mail_list.txt")

  the value mf_List to {}

  the value sel_addr to {}

  the value mf_List to paragraphs of (read file mf)

  the value sel_addr to (choose from the list mf_List with title ¬

  ('Mail list' with multiple selections allowed without empty selection allowed)

  If sel_addr is equal to false then

  Error number-128

  return

  end if

  If length of sel_addr is equal to 1 then

• 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

  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.

  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")}}}
