If you are looking for performance reports then they are captured in the vCenter server itself. You cn use vSphere PowerCLI to write your own customized reporting tool.

Thanks,

It depends on what data do you need.
Some are in vCenter, but there are a lot of 3th part tools (RVTools, Veeam, ...).

Or also a lot of scripts (as written before).

One of the best (free) ways to document a vSphere environment is to use the Virtualization EcoShell, which includes a way to generate reports and Visio diagrams. It is very easy to use and a great tool to keep in your toolbox for managing a VI3/vSphere environment.

Here is a link:
