Hello,
I need to identify VMs recently destroyed when they expire. If the Vms are manually destroyed I can get the informations I need, but, in this particular case I cannot.
I even tried to take the informations from expirations taking place 30 days earlier (the destruction occurs 30 days after the expiration date) but I have the same issue.
Do you know a way to ientify the destroyed VM in every case ?
Thank you in advance.
Since you posted this in the vRO sub-forum, I assume you're asking about a way to get this in a workflow run. Otherwise, one possible would be with Log Insight integration. Since this is surfaced in the logs, a well-crafted alert or dashboard widget should show you these VMs.
Yes I was asking how to get the informations with a workflow run. I am not familiar with Log Insight, I'll take a look a it ! Thank you !
So, with Log Insight we can get the messages from Infrastructure/Recent Events in vRA ?
Not 100% on that. Things under Infrastructure including Recent Events and Monitoring => Logs are usually written directly to the SQL IaaS database into tables. I don't know if the Recent Events are logged to a file or not.
I just checked my lab environment (vRA 7.3) and, yes, this is captured in the c:\program files (x86)\vmware\vcac\server\logs\all.log file assuming you have the vRLI agent installed on your IaaS boxes with agent groups properly configured.
Ok, thank you again ! It would be a good thing to get the recent events as it gives the names of the destroyed VMs. I'll examine this possibility.
Unfortunately, in my case the vRA server seems to be Linux based. I didn't manage to find the file all.log at the moment.
If you read what I wrote, I said the log is on the IaaS boxes, not the appliance.
