Need vm level infomration about memory

[john23]

I am trying to write automation, which can fetch active, allocate and consume memory  at VM level and print esxhost name as well (between specific hours for 2 weeks)

If someone has ready script in powercli, can you please share with me.

Basically you use the Get-Stat cmdlet for that.

The available memory counters are described under the PerformanceManager in the SDK API Reference.

I have a couple of posts that give an intro on doing performance reporting from PowerCLI.

See PowerCLI & vSphere statistics – Part 1 – The basics and PowerCLI & vSphere statistics – Part 2 – Come together to start with.

And there are quite a lot of samples of such scripts in this PowerCLI Community.

Alan also has a One-Liner that you probably could modify with some of the stats you want to use.

To see the available memory stat types you can run e.g.: $vm | Get-StatType *mem*
