Re: How can I find entityRefId?

vhs1 = vcMos['vsan-performance-manager']

spec = vim.cluster.VsanPerfQuerySpec()

#spec.entityRefId = "cluster-domclient:68dd9a1a-909f-4df9-b1b5-eab5dc5f0a9c"

spec.entityRefId = "cluster-domcompmgr:68dd9a1a-909f-4df9-b1b5-eab5dc5f0a9c"

endTime = datetime.datetime.utcnow()

startTime = endTime - datetime.timedelta(hours=1)

spec.startTime = startTime

spec.endTime = endTime

result = vhs1.VsanPerfQueryPerf(querySpecs=[spec], cluster=cluster)

how can I find then entityRefId

Hello someone007,

Welcome to Communities.

Looks to be cluster or host that is used as target here:

NAME	TYPE	DESCRIPTION

entityRefId	xsd:string	The 'entityRefId' is an entity reference id, which is used to identify the target entity (i.e. clusters, hosts) you want to query. Here an entity reference id consists of an entity type and an UUID of the entity. Its format is <entity-type>:<entity-uuid>. It is possible to pass '*' as the value for entity-uuid in case one wants to query all entities of a certain type. For supported entity types: See VsanPerfQueryPerf

The cluster and host you are checking this from UUIDs in question can be retrieved from running:

# esxcli vsan cluster get

or host UUIDs:

# cmmds-tool find -t HOSTNAME

or current host UUID:

# cmmds-tool whoami
