• Retrieve the tasks and events for a Virtual Machine

  Hello everyone.

  This question may seem trivial to some people here, but I cannot make it work: I would like to use VCO to retrieve the tasks and events for a specific virtual machine (IN parameter). Can someone help me to do?

  Best regards

  As I said, it must create a collector by using the createCollectorForTasks method in VcTaskManager.

  The parameter of this method is an instance of VcTaskFilterSpec, in which specify you the object to filter (in your case, the reference entity VM)

  You will get a VcTaskHistoryCollector which can only be traversed by using the methods readNextTasks and readPreviousTasks.

  // Get TaskManager service
  var sdktm = vm.sdkConnection.taskManager;
  
  // Create FilterSpec containing vm reference to filter
  var filter = new VcTaskFilterSpec();
  var spec = new VcTaskFilterSpecByEntity();
  spec.entity = vm.reference;
  spec.recursion = VcTaskFilterSpecRecursionOption.self;
  filter.entity = spec;
  
  // Create collector
  var collector = sdktm.createCollectorForTasks(filter);
  collector.resetCollector();
  
  // Browse all pages returned by collector (10 entries per page)
  var taskPage;
  while ((taskPage = collector.readPreviousTasks(10)) != null)
  {
      for each (var task in taskPage)
      {
          System.log("Task: " + task.name + " -> " + task.startTime);
      }
  }
  

• After you restore an image of my system drive, my tasks and events disappeared. Help!

  I've restored a backup image on my C: drive. Everything looks good except all my events and tasks have disappeared from the calendar!
  I understand that this data is included in my profile, but how do I get my events and tasks and put back them in the calendar? Are the import and export of functions expected to be used to provide backups of my events and tasks? Shouldn't they already appear in the calendar after the restoration of a system disk?

  After a lot of messing around, I think I solved this problem.

  The problem occurs because of an incompatibility between certain values in prefs.js vs values in the data table cal_events.

  I copied backup prefs.js (containing the 'calendar') related lines in the current prefs.js and now everything looks OK, I can see my tasks and events in the calendar.

  The lines looked like this:
  user_pref ("calendar.list.sortOrder", "75f0f98f-9fdf-4bca-9e48-656ff2e1457d 012fd0d9-bcf1-43b1-a98d-6b0117a3f779 511ca361-a646-4f94-880b-526a0a5cdba1");

  These long numbers must correspond to the values of the column. cal_id apparently if they do not match, they do not appear in the calendar.

  Mine does not, so I corrected the values in the prefs.js file and everything seems to go fine now.

  I still need to find the cause of the incompatibility, I think it was something in the way that I restored the disk then run MozBackup to restore my backup Thunderbird.

  Hope this helps others with this problem.

  Many thanks to Gnospen and Matt for their help!

• We have virtual machines on one of our groups that show alarms, but when you click on the tabs, alarms, or tasks and events there is no corresponding alert.

  We have virtual machines on one of our groups that show alarms, but when you click on the tabs, alarms, or tasks and events there is no corresponding alert.

  Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.

• View the old tasks and events

  Is there a way to show the taks and events on objects thorugh power CLI or CLI? vSphere Client only display up to 1000 entries. I know I could do a select SQL but if possible I would like to avoid this.

  Use the Get-VIEvent cmdlet.

  Make sure you use the MaxSamples parameter, the default value is 100.

  There are a bunch of messages around events on my blog.

• Difference between tasks and events in a virtual machine

  Hello

  I wonder if someone can help me. I am trying to identify when and how the as many times a virtual machine has been migrated manually by a user. The task of the virtual machine in question pane indicates that a task 'Migrate virtual machine' took place 31, but I don't see any event corresponding to this day here. If I click on related events, it comes up indicating that a migration has occurred. If I look at the events tab, then I see that there is a 18-type event "Migrate virtual machine" However there is no corresponding task. There is no event HA and DRS is disabled.

  My question is, that we should I think or is it a combination of the two? Only a manual migration by an administrator would be able to move the machine.

  Thank you

  Dan

  In the web client, the tasks are empty, but events are there.

  I have query to the database of vmware to bring to the event log and the get the DRS and migration events.

  The query has been

  Select EVENT_ID EVENT_TYPE, CREATE_TIME, username, VM_ID, VM_NAME, HOST_ID and HOST_NAME.

  COMPUTERESOURCE_ID, COMPUTERESOURCE_TYPE, COMPUTERESOURCE_NAME from VPX_EVENT where the EVENT_TYPE like '% VmMigrated %' and VM_NAME as ''.

  order of CREATE_TIME

  Thanks for your help.

• Where can I get a complete list of all types of events (tasks and events) vSphere

  Hi all

  I am looking for a way to get easily all types of events (events and tasks) that you normally see in the client vSphere for vCenter / ESX host.

  What I would like is the name of actual event/task for all types that are available. I know that there is the event manager in the CROWD that could be used to query for specific events, but it would be possible to get all the possible return types?

  Otherwise, if there is a document that lists all of them could someone tell me, who would also help!

  Thank you very much

  Sean

  Yes, that is all documented in the vSphere API reference Guide

• Integration of vSphere and vCenter logging Question

  Hello

  A few questions!

  1. VSphere integration with vCenter Server provides all the extra features on just by pulling the newspaper from vCenter through a syslog collector?
  2. Do you see any problem with the help of nxlog or Agent Insight of the newspaper to pull the following logs listed below, even if they are written not enough constantly? (Such as file permissions or use errors)
  3. There be any question, removing the vcenter/host integration in newspaper Insight and use a separate method of sending newspapers to the Insight Journal?

• vCenter Server does not send data to vCenter Log Insight

  I second vCenter server in another site, in Insight Log connection tests but I don't see any data from it...

  ESXi hosts connected to this server vcenter report their data after you run the command configure esxi on the tank.

  Where I can watch on the vCenter box that does not ensure that its installation correctly to send the data?

  Log Insight does not change to vCenter server so there is not place to search the vCenter Server (API calls only - you could try to look at events for the instance of vCenter Server view connection / disconnection of the events in log Insight). Usually when the vCenter Server events, tasks and alarms are not observed it stresses a connection permissions problem. The user specified for vCenter Server integration - must read-only permissions that are set on the object level superior vCenter Server and have you selected the checkbox to enable the authorization to broadcast across all objects? If so, can you generate a beam of support-> page Health Administration and transfer it by the directions here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008525 (not necessary for a SR, simply create a file called chasehansen)

• Task Scheduler... What are these tasks and that they planned?

  Initially, MSE does scan automatically as I had planned that he... .and then there is two days, he stopped. I have switched between the options [run while you are logged in, but not using it]... and makes no diff.

  Then... I looked around and stumbled upon Task Scheduler (that I used to twist a lot during my years XP) and was stunned to see 15 tasks scheduled to run on different times and different triggers... indefinitely. I don't know any of them, and I did not had everything, or the other. I noticed that I slowed down when he was running. Then I disabled all.

  48 hours later, my PC doesn't seem different (I expect event catastrophic/s)... MSE is still running is not on calendar (which is quite ok with me, because I decided that I would really rather run it when I want).

  Question: What are these tasks and why they operate indefinitely?... .and that at the request of their? And why disabling does not seem to matter? MSE is responsible for any of them?

  BTW, registration of WMC would prevent Autostart MSE? (Because on the two failed retirements, WMC has arrived to save)

  Hi Coolnewyorker,

  Your question on "that them regular '-the answer is Microsoft.

  Scheduled tasks, include the restoration of the system, Defragmenter to Windows, Windows troubleshooting, Windows Customer Experience. You will also find tasks to check the health of your PC. It's to name a few.

  With regard to disabling them does not make any difference, you might find that not much, if anything, is actually scheduled for work when you really are on your PC. In many cases, most schedules run at about 02:00 or, in the case of everything Microsoft has planned on my machine, it does not at all simply because my system is stopped when the majority of demand is demand - or at least it used to be. Systematically, I went through them and changed the time when I was online so that information to Microsoft are downloaded - for example files that are created when the PC crashes etc.

  About MSE, as most of the applications that run on a schedule, there is a strong dependence on the PC being idle for many minutes before the start of the schedule. If you are running another program, such as WMC in record, the system is not idle, it's registration; so, Yes, WMC record could affect the operation of MSE.

  ADF, I received today a similar appeal.  When I questioned his information on the company, he was very defensive and said "I have no cold calling, I'm in East London" I asked him to give me the name of the software MS causing errors, during which he compiled a long list of file extensions and avoided the question.  When I asked her name and phone number so I can get my husband to call him back, he began to read a number on phone, but the figures '0-1', the line was cut off.

  I'm sure you made the right choice in putting an end to the conversation of what I lived today.  I have no idea how you would report to Microsoft, but wanted a response to you here to support your actions!

• Error 2000000 charge Assembly of the OMIVV 3.0 and 6.0 vCenter

  We have recently installed vCenter 6.0 in our laboratory. I downloaded the OVF OMIVV and deployed a new instance of the device. (I experimented with 2.3.0 in the past, but has never run, just so threw it out). The connection to the vCenter took place without a hitch, but the web client shows a dialog "Error 2000000" whenever I click on through the interface. When I used the first Setup Wizard, I was able to enter all of the passwords, but the list of guests was empty, even though this vCenter has 8 fasteners. Without being able to choose a host, I was not allowed to go forward through the wizard.

  It seems that this error has been reported in older versions, but it is slightly different in OMIVV 3.0, so I thought I should start a new thread. It is said:

  An unknown exception has occurred and has been recorded in the extended papers.
  Severity: CRITICAL
  Error: 2000000
  Date and time:
  Details:
  An unknown exception has occurred and has been recorded in the extended papers. If the problem persists, restart your device. If this does not resolve the problem, contact Dell technical support.

  Things I've tried:

  -Enable and disable the web proxy settings (no change of behavior)

  -Unplugged then replugged the vCenter in the administration several times

  -Make sure the vCenter and OMIVV device are on the same network, with no firewall between

  Re-recorded the vCenter using the domain name FULL official, such as name-> digital-> name in same name results returned

  I downloaded the package support and looked through the logs, but do not see anything obvious. I'd be happy to start over and upload files or a clean log file if it would help.

  Tips on where to go from here?

• GROUP hosts ESX (impossible to find in correlation of events through Insight Log)

  We have several ESXi 5.0 hosts who are restarting unexpectedly (GROUP) and want to use Log Insight to quickly assess how rampant it is through the fleet and the frequency of occurrence.

  Unfortunately we have not been able to generate a successful via interactive analysis query to return any success.

  Here is a sample of the actual events, through the vobd.log on a given host:

  2013-07 - 01 T 14: 29:21.790Z: [UserLevelCorrelator] 96423176us: [esx.audit.host.boot] host has started.

  2013-07 - 01 T 14: 29:22.469Z: [UserLevelCorrelator] 97102185us: [vob.user.host.coredump] a unread host kernel core dump was found.

  Tried to set exclusions specifically for the name of the host in question, do a search for 'core dump', etc. all without success.

  Ignorance of the user?

  If you have configured the ESXi host (s) in question to send Remote Insight log syslog after the GROUP occurred then it would be expected behavior. Configuration of any device to send remote syslog applies only to events that occur after the configuration has been implemented. The next time that event occurs that you should be able to get him in Insight Journal (you could even create a dashboard or set up an alert beforehand). Log messages would be removed only in the case of the network connectivity issues or hitting a maximum on the target remote syslog. In terms of ESXi, the only thing to keep in mind is the remote syslog bug. I hope this helps!
