Report into MS Word

VERSION 3 Published

Created on: Aug 14, 2008 7:18 AM by alanrenouf - Last Modified:  May 22, 2009 11:48 AM by alanrenouf

Firstly, I wanted you to know that I only started with PowerShell around a month ago when I saw the cool things you were doing with the beta of the VI toolkit, so not only have I been learning the toolkit but also PowerShell, this will hopefully excuse the basics of my code and I am sure that the experts will find a better (and faster) way of doing it !

Scenario:

You have convinced your IT Manager that VI3 is the best virtualisation product compared to the others out there on the market (that was the easy bit). You have told him how much money you will save him and how environmentally friendly his server room will now be. He has dusted off his corporate wallet and agreed to pay for.

Your "pointy haired" IT Manager has asked for a weekly report of what is virtualised and an overall status of what is happening in this new wonderful system, whilst you are working 24hr shifts just to get the downtime for servers whilst your users sleep you do not have time to keep creating reports.....Enter my script !

Answer:


You could send him a bunch of html emails and csv outputs but your manager would only need help importing them and help understanding what each file is. This script not only outputs all the results straight to MS Word but also adds nice colourful graphs and pie charts (which we all know makes managers happy). The script can be easily added too, to enable further output utilising the functions.

It can also email the results directly to the manager and maybe be used in a scheduled task ?!


On a personal Note:


This has really given me a reason to start to learn PowerShell (I have been meaning to for ages) and also learn how to use the fantastic new VI toolkit, if nothing else I have gained the valuable experiences of learning PS and the toolkit. Thanks to the creators.


Usage:


Report.ps1 YOURVISERVER

You will need MS Word and the Office Web Components (script will tell you where to download if not installed)

This script takes a varied amount of time to run and only reads data, no configuration changes are made at all, obviously the bigger system the longer it will take, not that you would notice if it was a scheduled task.

The email areas are currently commented out at the end awaiting customisation if needed.

Sorry if it doesnt work on your VI, I have not been able to test as extensively as I would have liked due to only having one VI.

Office XP/2003/2007 tested.

This is awesome! We are now using this to contribute to our monthly reporting to management.

Very useful indeed, no modification was required to run in our environment.

Hi Alan,

This is a very good script as there is not much else for reporting. A good reporting function is missing in both esx server and virtual center.

The document looks good and usefull and the script is easy to use.

There are a few things i would like to see more but i already e-mailed those.

Overall e very very nice job!

Sorry for not commenting back--I barely finished my judging work in time to drive to @jonwalz for the podcast show last night. :)

Yes, the report finished and I think it's awfully cool and very comprehensive. I like all the progress bars--without that the waiting would have been intolerable.

Great report. Worked out of the box. I have 265 VMs. No issues.

Thanks for the comment, glad it worked fine in your environment, I will be creating a newer and hopefully faster version when I get time, you can follow my blog for updates and other scripts I have written...

Hi, Sorry you are having problems, from the looks of it you dont have the VI toolkit (http://www.vmware.com/sdk/vitk_win/index.html) installed as the first cmdlet 'connect-viserver' is not working. If you havent yet installed it you will need to download and install on the same machine as powershell.

Good luck.

Dec 16, 2008 2:55 PM jmedd  says: in response to: alanrenouf

Might also be the version of the VI Toolkit. I think the connect-viserver cmdlet was named differently in an earlier version.......

Dec 17, 2008 12:46 AM alanrenouf  vExpert  says: in response to: jmedd

jmedd, true, in the Beta version it was 'get-viserver' but hopefully he will be using the current version which has lots of fixes and major performance tweaks

Dec 17, 2008 4:04 PM SetClear  says: in response to: alanrenouf

Please help, installed Word and excell oto the virtualcenter server where this report would be scheduled and run. but I get a tom of errors and when the reports finished it have no charting.

Whats wrong?

Below is the output from the powershell window...
if you need something else let me know.
I am running the latest version of the VI toolkit as I am doing heavy use of the API/SDK for cloning across clusters/datacenters and some of the functionality is only available in the RC release.

Hi,

A few people have had this issue, I think its an issue with the version of the office web components, I would uninstall the office web components and install them from the url in the script.

Also you did know you dont have to run this on your VC server didnt you ? You can run it on any server/workstation with Powershell and the VI Toolkit installed !

Hope you get it working.

Alan

Dec 18, 2008 10:33 AM SetClear  says: in response to: alanrenouf

Alan,

The Link is what was used to get the office web component.
Set excell to $true and still not gettting anything in the charts.
and there are no titles either. Veru odd. are there any issues with Office 2007 fully patched?

Dec 19, 2008 1:02 AM alanrenouf  vExpert  says: in response to: SetClear

Thats very strange, I have tried it with Word 2007 before and its worked fine, to test the office web components can you try this please.....

http://teckinfo.blogspot.com/2008/07/quick-stats-from-vmware-for-reports.html

You should also be able to get hold of my email address from there if thats easier.

Dec 19, 2008 7:44 AM rmarche  says: in response to: jmedd

Sweet script. In case anyone is having a similar problem, I had to run the following prior to running the ps1.

Add-PSsnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
Initialize-VIToolkitEnvironment.ps1

Hope this helps
Rick

Dec 19, 2008 11:25 AM alanrenouf  vExpert  says: in response to: rmarche

Correct, If your running this as a scheduled task you need to add that to tell powershell to add the VI Toolkit snapin. Thanks for the comments rmarche.

Dec 19, 2008 11:28 AM alanrenouf  vExpert  says: in response to: SetClear

Some people have managed to fix the non showing graph issues by doing the following:

Please replace the line that says:

$series = (http://array]$chart.charts)0.SeriesCollection.Add(0)

by the following lines:

$chartsEntry = (array $chart.charts)[0]
$chartEntry = $chartsEntry.Add(0)
$series = $chartEntry.SeriesCollection.Add(0)

Ran great against our Test VI host! I was wondering if this can be run against the Virtual Center Server so it collects all the VI servers in the cluster into one word document. I was a little scurrred to try it as we have alot of them and didn't want to have a chance of crashing it. Great post!

Dec 23, 2008 11:01 AM alanrenouf  vExpert  says: in response to: BasicVirtu

I have not known any instance of it crashing any servers yet, go for it, it may take a while if you have a large environment but shouldn't cause stress on your VI

Dec 23, 2008 2:03 PM BasicVirtu  says: in response to: alanrenouf

Thanks it worked great except for some empty graphs... I will try to use your code in the above post to see if it changes the results.

Jan 6, 2009 1:51 PM BasicVirtu  says: in response to: alanrenouf

These lines are difficult to read for some reason, I think the html is messing them up; I tries this but it doesn't seem to work. The graph displays fine with individual esx hosts but when I run it against our virtual center the esx hosts do not display the graphs. Any suggestions?

"$chartsEntry = (array $chart.charts)[0]"
"$chartEntry = $chartsEntry.Add(0)"
"$series = $chartEntry.SeriesCollection.Add(0)"

Also any suggestions/links for a first time user trying to code some of it. I set it up with VS2008 and added a powershell template and the vim dlls as a reference but still having issues. I wanted to change some of the date/time properties in the report and didn't know what was available.

VItoolkit 1.5 is installed and when I call it manually and run a "Connect-VIServer esx1" it works. It just asks for login credentials.

May 18, 2009 2:30 PM alanrenouf  vExpert  says: in response to: max2479

Max,

This script was made for you to run passing it your VI Server as an input to the script, you should not need to ammend the code at all.

Just run the script like so:

PS> .\report.ps1 vc1

Or if you are loading it into something like powergui script editor type your VI server name in the text box next to the play button.

Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Alan,

I'm just trying to get the script running on my vcenter box but i do not have the office addin installed. When i try and run the script i get an error saying this script requires MS word, please install Word. I had previously managed to install an office 2003 pack from MS but i cannot for the life of me find out what one it was.

Could you post of link of the MS office 2003 download that i need to run this script.

Thanks

Jun 25, 2009 4:19 PM max2479  says: in response to: foxy1977

Foxy1977,
The link is actually in the script. if you get this error there should of been a link where to download it. Make sure oyu have latest version of Alan's script.
the link is: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7287252C-402E-4F72-97A5-E0FD290D4B76&displaylang=en

I've scoured your blog in search of an updated version of this script, and there appears to be none. Is that correct?
