Hi all,
To monitor our Horizon infrastructure with PRTG, I created some custom made scripts that use powerCLI and the ViewAPI. Suddenly, yesterday some of them stopped working and I have no idea what caused it, nor how to solve it. I'll list the script and the output. Hopefully someone can help me out? (the script output has been limited for readabliity)
Thanks a lot for any ideas.
Michiel.
Script:
# import necessary modules
Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core
Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.HorizonView
# connect to Horizon View Connection Server
$con = Connect-HVServer -Server "<view connection server>"
#get Connection server information
Write-host "**************************"
Write-host "Get Connection Server information"
$viewAPI = ""
$viewAPI = $Global:DefaultHVServers.ExtensionData.ConnectionServerHealth.ConnectionserverHealth_List()
$viewAPI
write-host ""
#get VCenter information
Write-host "**************************"
Write-host "Get VirtualCenter information"
$viewAPI = ""
$viewAPI = $Global:DefaultHVServers.ExtensionData.VirtualCenter.VirtualCenter_List()
$viewAPI
write-host ""
#all commands above work fine without problems
#following commands give an authentication error
#get VirtualCenterHealth_List information
Write-host "**************************"
Write-host "Get VirtualCenter Health information"
$viewAPI = ""
$viewAPI = $Global:DefaultHVServers.ExtensionData.VirtualCenterHealth.VirtualCenterHealth_List()
$viewAPI

#get ESX Hosts from vCenters
Write-host "**************************"
Write-host "Get ESX Hosts information"

Write-host "Get Datastores information"
$viewAPI = ""
$viewAPI = $Global:DefaultHVServers.ExtensionData.VirtualCenterHealth.VirtualCenterHealth_List().DataStoreData
$viewAPI
write-host ""
Disconnect-HVServer $con
