Deleted and Created VMs for past 4 weeks - dashboard

[abugeja]

I have a dashboard summary page which lists number of ESXi hosts, number of running and powered off VMs but i would also like to add VMs that have been deleted and built in the past 4 weeks.

Then once that is working go down further and say how many of a specific Operating has been built. Have looked around in vrops to do this but no luck. Anyideas?

It is a property of a VM called "Creation Date". Keep in mind you need vROps 7.5+ and collecting from vCenter 6.7+. And alternate solution for this use case is using Log Insight to gain this information.

Thanks for replying back on this. Im running 7.5 at the moment but not at vSphere 6.7 but when i am i will check this metric out further.

It is not exactly what you are looking for, but you can do similar think in this way:

Go to: Administration -> Inventory -> Recently Added Objects

you can find here recently added object in last 1, 7, 10, 30 days and filter it.
