Snapshot logs

Hi,

Is there anyway to see when a snapshot was created? In a log somewhere?

Cheers,

Joe

If you have VirtualCenter you can use a query like this on the DB.

select snapshot_name AS 'Snapshot Name', convert (varchar(30), create_time, 11) as 'Snapshot create date' , as 'VM Name' from vpx_snapshot a , vpx_entity b

where a.vm_id = b.id

Alternatively, when you create a snapshot, the base disk is no longer written to. So the last modified date of the base disk should show you when the snapshot was created. Note however that if you have multiple snapshots, you will have to check not the base disk but the previous snapshot, if you see what I mean.
