script to collect 'Triggered alarms' 4 VC in a single report

Hi team,

I'm looking for a script to collect 'Triggered alarms' 4 VC in a single report. We use ESXi 4.1 worm in the VC.

Is it possible to collect all 4 VC triggered alarms in a report by acronym and automatically by email with an Excel report.

Thank you

Kind regards

  • Request to modify the script to collect the CPU Ready in percentage by VM instead of milliseconds

    Hi all

    I would ask for help here with the script that I found in this forum by Mr. LucD to collect % VM CPU ready to be changed according to the famous formula for calculating the percentage of CPU of VM ready:

    ((Valeur de sommation UC / (< intervalle de mise à jour par défaut graphique en secondes > * 1000)) * 100) / number of vCPU = CPU % ready



    From my understanding, the script must be changed because:

    1. Don't divide the percentage CPU Ready by the number of vCPU for each virtual computer
    2. The refresh interval is not set 'for a week. for simplicity, this script will be used to collect last week performance data ($start = (Get-Date). AddDays(-7))

    Note: The refresh rate can be found this KB: VMware KB: conversion between the summation of values CPU and CPU ready %

    the purpose of this script is to classify VM of the result is greater than 10% determined as having problems with CPU Ready. Article source: http://docs.media.bitpipe.com/io_10x/io_107330/item_605784/Basic%20VMware%20vSphere%20Performance%20Guide_201211.pdf)

    I have tested and run script below:

    $allvms = @()
    $vms = Get-VM  
    $start = (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)
    $metrics = "cpu.usage.average","mem.usage.average","cpu.ready.summation" 
    
    
    Get-Stat -Entity $vms -Start $start -Stat $metrics | 
    Group-Object -Property {$_.Entity.Name} | %{
      $cpu = $_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "cpu.usage.average" -and $_.Instance -eq ""} | Measure-Object -Property value -Average -Maximum -Minimum
      $mem = $_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "mem.usage.average"} | Measure-Object -Property value -Average -Maximum -Minimum
      $vmstat = "" | Select Time,VmName, MemMax, MemAvg, MemMin, CPUMax, CPUAvg, CPUMin, CPURDYMaxPercent
      $vmstat.VmName = $_.Group[0].Entity.Name
      $vmstat.Time = $_.Group | Sort-Object -Property Timestamp | Select -First 1 | Select -ExpandProperty Timestamp
      $vmstat.CPUMax = [Math]::Round($cpu.Maximum,2)
      $vmstat.CPUAvg = [Math]::Round($cpu.Average,2)
      $vmstat.CPUMin = [Math]::Round($cpu.Minimum,2)
      $vmstat.MemMax = [Math]::Round($mem.Maximum,2)
      $vmstat.MemAvg = [Math]::Round($mem.Average,2)
      $vmstat.MemMin = [Math]::Round($mem.Minimum,2)
      $vmstat.CPURDYMaxPercent = &{
      $interval = $_.Group[0].IntervalSecs * 10
        ($_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "cpu.ready.summation" -and $_.Instance -eq ""} | 
      Sort-Object -Property Value -Descending |
        Select -First 1 | 
        Select -ExpandProperty Value) / $interval
      }
      $allvms += $vmstat
    }
    $allvms | Select Time,VMName, MemMax, MemAvg, MemMin, CPUMax, CPUAvg, CPUMin, CPURDYMaxPercent | 
    Export-Csv "C:\TEMP\AllVMs-7days.csv" -noTypeInformation -UseCulture 
    

    I hope that this will be the most useful script to understand where particular VM is experiencing problem with percentage CPU Ready.

    Thanks in advance,

    I have my version here, I use to use of the CPU.

    . LOGBOOK

    This unique feature provide several reports and information. IE: convert ready value into a readable format (for real-time, day, week, month, year).

    . DESCRIPTION

    This unique feature provides multiple information of esxi host, as the list below.

    The CPU usage of the virtual, Mhz, the use of the processor CPU ready computer

    vCPU allocated to the VM (jailbroken in the casings and core)

    VMHost name

    Information physical VMhost CPU (jailbroken in the casings and core)

    To convert between value of CPU ready summons in vCenter performance tables and the value of loan % of CPU that you see in esxtop, you must use a formula.

    The form requires that you know the default update intervals for performance dashboards. These are the default update for each chart intervals:

    Realtime: 20 seconds

    Last day: 5 minutes (300 seconds)

    Last week: 30 minutes (1800 seconds)

    Over the past month: 2 hours (7200 seconds)

    Last year: 1 day (86400 seconds)

    To calculate the % of CPU ready of the summation value ready CPU, use this formula:

    (Value of summons UC / ( * 1000)) * 100 = ready % CPU

    Example: Stats in real-time for a VM on vCenter may have an average CPU ready summation value of 1000. Use the appropriate formula values to get the loan % of CPU.

    (1000 / (20 sec * 1000)) * 100 = 5% CPU ready

  • Purpose of the triggered alarm

    Hello

    I am trying to create a script that sends an email with all the daily alarms from VMware.  I did everything, but the part that identifies the object that is actually in a State of alarm.  I use the code below I've seen in other similar questions, but I can't find anything in the SDK that will produce this object.  I can get it only to point to the object where it is actually defined.  Am I missing a property which will produce who or what I have to drill down to each object in the inventory and check for alarms triggered?

    $vcenter = "vcntr01".

    SE connect-VIServer $vcenter

    $datacenters = (get-data center * | get-View)

    {foreach ($datacenter to $datacenters)

    foreach ($triggered in $datacenter. TriggeredAlarmState) {}

    $alarmDef is get-view-Id $triggered. Alarm

    Write-Host "$((get-vue_$alarmDef.Info.entity).name) $($alarmDef.Info.Name).

    }

    }

    Thank you!

    Try like this

    Get-Datacenter | where {$_.ExtensionData.triggeredAlarmState} | %{  $_.ExtensionData.triggeredAlarmState |  Select Time,    @{N="Entity";E={Get-View $_.Entity | Select -ExpandProperty Name}},    @{N="Alarm";E={Get-View $_.Alarm | Select -ExpandProperty Info | Select -ExpandProperty Name}}}
    
  • Reset a triggered alarm

    Using the SDK, I would like to reset the alarm that was triggered on a VM - equivalent to a user of the VIC right click on alarm and choosing "reset to green".  Recognizing, it is easy, but I would like that he do disappear completely and don't see any way to do this via the API.  I don't want to affect other bodies, triggered the alarm even on different virtual machines, so turn off/on or recreate the alarm is not an option.

    A way to do what I'm just missing?

    Thank you

    This role is spread from data centers (upper level) and connected to an AD user account.

    When I integrate Log Insight with my any snippet vCenter and it is saved correctly in the Administration tab for the particular Server vCenter (collect vCenter Server events, tasks and messages is checked), but nothing ever appears in vCenter alarms / tasks despite the fact that there are a lot of things for at least a month back. I use a custom range, which should be enough.

    I tried the same thing in our development environment with an administrator privileged account and it works fine, I get a lot of vCenter alarms and whatnot in the dashboards. However, I want to use the least permissions if possible.

    Am I missing a permission/privilege? Is there a log file I can check for errors/warnings?

    Can be set to RESPOND.

  • Script to collect data from several vcentres

    Hi all

    I have a few vCentres (5.5 and 5.1) I want to set up a scheduled task to collect some personal information and send me a csv file every 1st of the month.

    First, I test on 2 x vcentres only collection esxi hosts (the info that I need are different, but once I get the job of script I can change what I need).

    I have configure something like:

    $user = "domain\username".

    $pass = "user password"

    $vcentres = "IP1, IP2.

    ForEach ($vcentre to $vcentres)

    {

    $filedate = get-date - uformat ' %d-%m - Y % - hour %M ' %S

    $filename = "c:\tmp\reports\" + $vcentre + "_" + $filedate ".csv".

    Write-Host "connection to" $vcentre

    SE connect-viserver-Server $vcentre - user $user-password $pass

    Get-vmhost | Select name. Export-CSV $filename - NoType - UseCulture

    }

    Disconnect-viserver-Server *-confirm: $false

    I expected to receive 2 x csv files, one for each IP vcentre address, i.e., c:\tmp\IP1_date_time.csv and c:\tmp\IP2_date_time.csv

    Script runs the file but does not generate only 1 x csv with all inside esxi hosts.

    I think I need to install another variable to store the csv file when the first pass of the loop, then the second and finally to save to the specified location.

    Could anyone advice what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks to anticiaption.

    Try to make the VIServer disconnection in the foreach loop.

  • not triggered alarm not: insufficient vSphere HA failover resources

    This alarm is only triggered when a HA action fails?  I have a cluster of two hosts ESXi 5.0, and since I'm on more than 50% of available memory on each host, for me, it seems that I can't tolerate a single host failure.

    RAMdistChart.PNG

    HA and DRS are enabled on the cluster, and the "admission control policy", I have 'percent of reserved failover cluster resources', set at 50%.

    So why no alarm?  My goal is to get an alert before to reach the State we begin, where we cannot tolerate apparently not a failure of the host.

    > Based on this and the absence of the alarm, we can assume that if I dropped one of the hosts of this 2-host cluster, all the virtual machines would be able to start on the only host remaining, correct?

    Correct, if one of your guests crashed or zero all your VMS would have sufficient resources to start (no guarantee of performance, just start/running)

    > And the alarm, I want to talk to the title of this thread only is triggered when what 98% to 50% or less, correct?

    There's no alarm. When your ability to failover CPU or memory reaches 50% admission control will prevent you from turn another VM

    > I am still concerned about the diagram of distribution of this resource for memory, however. It looks like I could push up to 100% on both hosts and still no push failover memory less than 50% capacity. I guess that this is due to the fact that my virtual machines have no memory reserved, so vSphere counts only the minimum amount of memory to start the virtual machine, and it will depend on permutation and balloon so all virtual machines start actually using all of their memory.

    Fix

    > So the alarm I'm looking for is the one that reproduces the table of distribution of resources and alerts when the total unused memory in the cluster is less than the total memory to a single host.  Make sense?

    I'm not aware of an alarm like this. You may be able to find something through google or create something yourself. On the creation of reserves for your virtual machines? Or less the most important? This way you can ensure that they will get resources when they restart. Or if you really want you can replace admission control by hosting dedicated failover policy? (I do not think that I recommend with what I know of your situation, but it will give you what you ask for).

    Have you watched the vRAS fling? VM and Service availability & #8211 resources; VMware Labs

    This adventure allows you to perform a host on your infrastructure failure analysis. You can simulate the failure of one or more hosts in a cluster (vSphere) and identify how:

    • Virtual machines will re-start safely on different hosts
    • Virtual machines would not be restarted on different hosts
    • Virtual machines would be the degradation in performance when rebooted on a different host

    With this information, you can better plan the location and configuration of your infrastructure to reduce the downtime of your virtual machines / Services in case of failure of the host.

  • Script to export VCenter alarms to analyze.

    Does anyone know of a script, or how an exportable report of your alarms that are used in your script Vcenter?

    Want to know what thresholds have been established.

    For example, is sent by e-mail or SMNP.

    Help, please.
