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:
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.

Include the attribute custom report using the disc
I'm to customize a script provided by Alan Renouf in his PowerGUI Powerpack. The script I'm customization in the Powerpack is named 'VM disk sizes.
His screenplay does everything we need from a point of view of output except that we can also include a custom attribute (Custom Field) VM as well as the information of the disk space. I have included the below custom script, please note that this is a script/PowerGUI PowerPack we customize but was initially written and provided by Alan Renouf and all credit for this original work must be given to Alan.
I have included our custom below script and have "in bold Red" line in the script that does not work:

How to develop the view to include CustomFields/CustomAttributes for each virtual computer in our environment and then report on their subject?
Please let me know if I did a poor job explaining the scenario and what I'm after here. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hello, jSun311-
Yes, you are right - there is no such thing as the "CustomFields" property on a managed object VirtualMachine . You can always get the names and the corresponding values of the custom fields, you just have a little. For example, you could change the line to:
...## make a comma-separated string that holds the custom field key/value pairs, like "cust0 = myValue0,cust1 = myDateInfo"$Details | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name CustomFields -Value (($VM.Value | %{$oCustFieldStrValue = $_; "{0} = {1}" -f ($VM.AvailableField | ?{$_.Key -eq $oCustFieldStrValue.Key}).Name, $oCustFieldStrValue.Value}) -join ",")...
and you should be happy as a clam.
BTW, this call Get-view on your first line could be optimized a little using the - Filter parameter, like:
$AllVMs = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{"Config.Template" = "false"}
Pretty minimal in this case, but can be very useful in other scenarios of Get-View. And, you may want to retrieve only the properties of the managed VirtualMachine object that you plan to use, so that the memory usage is reduced to the minimum, speed is optimized, etc. (do you this by using the - Get-mode property param).
Anyway, how does do for you?

Write-Host returns the correct value of the data store while Export-CSV does not work
Hi team
I use the attached script to get vcenter inventory. Everything works fine but the output to one gives CSV value like datasore ' VMware.Vim.VirtaulMachineConfigInfoDatastroreUrlPair [of] "instead of the actual data store name.
But when I do a write-host in the end (instead of export to CSV) I can't find the name of data reflecting properly store.
Can someone help me understand what Miss me?
Thanks in advance.
Olivier ONE
The problem is that the virtual machine can have several data warehouses and the DatastoreUrl is an object, not a string.
Try changing:
$Report.DatastoreName = $VMview.Config.DatastoreUrl
in:
$Report.DatastoreName = [string]: join ('',($VMview.Config.DatastoreUrl |) Select-Object name - Expandproperty))

User error needs help correction->; repeatable Tag on the attribute custom section
Okay, I v.6111. Today, I put manually the tag supplier_eq_create on all the existing attributes in our sections for suppliers can add them when we send the EQS. Unfortuately, I accidentally clicked on the reproducible tag instead of Supplier_EQ_Create in some cases in our environment Export/setting in scene. When I try to remove its repeatable label, I get the error that says "reproducible State of the line can be changed after the outbreak of the line"... we did not really use the reproducible feature of the tag. I need to know how I can remove this tag with the attributes of active due to human error before importing it to PROD. The forum can help me?
Best, Beckie
Hi Beckie,
As long as you are sure that nobody use it you can remove this tag with a database script.
As with all scripts, make sure that you back up your data.
With the following script, you can find the lines that contain the reproducible tag of a particular section model
select rowTemplate.* from eaSectionDynamicTagJoins rowTTagjoin inner join commonEARowTemplate rowTemplate on rowTemplate.pkid = rowTTagjoin.fkEAS inner join commonLookups tag on tag.pkid = rowTTagjoin.fkTag inner join commonEASectionTemplate sectionTemplate on sectionTemplate.pkid = rowTemplate.fkSectionTemplate where tag.Name = 'Repeatable' and langID = 0 and Category = 'EASRowDynamicTag' and sectionTemplate.id = '
'; Tags are related to patterns of row of section customized using the eaSectionDynamicTagJoins table.
You can remove the tag of a specific line by using the following script
delete from eaSectionDynamicTagJoins where fkEAS = '
'; I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions,
Dmitriy

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.

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

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

But if I do
Get-vmcreationdate testvm
he responds with

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 '.

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}}

Thanks in advance
You could do it like this
Function Get_DataStores {}
$report = @)
{foreach ($hostname in get-vmhost)
$cluster = get-Cluster - VMHost $hostname
Get-VMHost-name $hostname | Get-Datastore. %{
$info = "" | Select the Cluster host, DSName, CapacityMB, FreeSpaceMB, ProvisionedMB, UsedMB
$info. Cluster = $cluster. Name
$info. Host = $hostname
$info. DSName = $_. Name
$info. CapacityMB = ($_.) ExtensionData.Summary.Capacity)/1MB
$info. FreeSpaceMB = ($_.) ExtensionData.Summary.FreeSpace)/1MB
$info. ProvisionedMB = ((($_.)) ExtensionData.Summary.Capacity) - ($_.) ExtensionData.Summary.FreeSpace)) + ($_.) ExtensionData.Summary.Uncommitted))/1MB
$info. UsedMB = (($info.)) CapacityMB - $info. (FreeSpaceMB) / 1 MB)
$report += $info
}
}
$csv = "C:\datastores.csv".
$report | Export-Csv $csv - NoTypeInformation
}

Need help with an Export-CSV and ForEach loop
Hi guys, I'm total NOOB in CLI so please forgive the stupid question.
I need your expert advice for the very large environment and will award points.
I have a working script that alerts to our logout ESXi hosts, maintenance and NotResponidng mode
His job well, but need to send a mail to all three of our VCenters
Current script only works for a VC at a time. How do I ForEach and always the hose of the same body CSV and HTML
It would be nice to have an HTML and CSV output that looks like this (assuming that there are currently disconnected etc.)
I have a set of credentials, that work on all 3 of my VC
VC1
Host1 disconnected
Host2 NotResponding
VC2
Host3 disconnected
Host4 NotResponding
VC3
No disconnected/maintemance/notresponding hosts for VC3
Here is my current code, etc. of the hidden passwords >
# Clear old sessions
Disconnect VIServer VC01-confirm: $false# VC01 VC check for disconnection and Maintenance mode and does not
SE connect-VIServer-Server VC01 - FakeUSer username-password FakePassword$Report = get-VMhost-State disconnected, maintenance, NotResponding | SELECT name, connectionstate
# scan info to be html and give him a date stamp
$ReportHtml = $report | ConvertTo-Html | Out-string
# Write CSV file and give it a character of data
$filePath = "C:\PS\Output".
$filename = "VC01disconnectedHosts".
$CurrentDate = get-Date
$CurrentDate = $CurrentDate.ToString ('MM-dd-yyyy_hh-mm-ss')$Report | Export-Csv "C:\PS\Output\VC_$Currentdate.csv".
# Send the info by Mail
Send-MailMessage-to [email protected] - subject VMwareMorningcheckVC01$ CurrentDate '
SmtpServer - mail.sanlam.co.za - from [email protected] '
-BodyAsHtml-body $reportHtml - accessories 'C:\PS\Output\VC_$CurrentDate.csv '.Thank you in advance for help.
You could use a ForEach loop through all vCenters and combine the results in a $1 report.
Something like that
$vCenters = "VC01","VC02","VC03" # Clear old sessionsDisconnect-VIServer $vCenters -Confirm:$false $report = @()# Check VC VC01 for Disconnects and Maintenance mode and Not Respondingforeach($vc in $vCenters){ Connect-VIServer -Server $vc -User FakeUSer -Password FakePassword $Report += (Get-VMhost -State Disconnected,Maintenance,NotResponding | Select @{N="VC";E={$vc}},name ,connectionstate) Disconnect-VIServer $vc -Confirm:$false} # 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 $CurrentDate = Get-Date -Format 'MM-dd-yyyy_hh-mm-ss'$filename = "C:\PS\Output\DisconnectedHosts-$($CurrentDate).csv" $Report | Export-Csv -Path $filename -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture # Send info with Mail Send-MailMessage -To [email protected] -Subject VMwareMorningcheck$CurrentDate `-SmtpServer mail.sanlam.co.za -From [email protected] `-BodyAsHtml -Body $reportHtml -Attachments "C:\PS\Output\DisconnectedHosts-$($CurrentDate).csv"
I added the property vCenter for each line in the report

$NicTeaming = Get NicTeamingPolicy -VirtualSwitch $vSwitch

You declare $report in a table?
On the first line
