Query on Windows VM event

[viveksh]

Hello,

For my Windows 2008 R2 VM, I keep seeing the below VMware event 

"Guest operation List Processes performed."

Question - Can someone please shed light on when this event is triggered and if there is a way to suppress it?

This is on ESXi 5.1, vCenter 5.1

Thanks, Vivek

Hi,

Is this specific to a single VM or ESXi host? I would look at the /vmfs/volumes/datastore/vm/vmware.log of the VM to find more information about this event.

Hello,

This comes for a bunch of Windows VMs to which some virtual disks were added but not initialized (from Disk Management Console inside Windows)

Have looked at vmware.log - nothing much in there that relates to "Guest operation List Processes performed" events

Thanks,

Vivek

From the pubs:

Get processes from guest 

Returns a list with the processes running in the guest operating system and the recently completed processes started by the API.

If you have a running vCenter Orchestrator server, and you have configured it to work with the vCenter Server instances registered with your vSphere Web Client, you can use the vSphere Web Client to run and schedule workflows on the objects in your vSphere infrastructure.

Hello zXI,

Thanks for the response!

I am checking around with our VMware Admin if vCenter Orchestrator is causing the events.

Regards,

Vivek
