Alan's vCheck script output as interactive vSphere web-plugin

Disecting Alan's vCheck script and this community has been huge help for my powercli learning experience.  I bought the book from Amazon and it is on its way.

Anyways, I was able to modify Alan's vCheck script and linked it as vsphere web plugin.  There are lot of modification to be made on the script and some with vsphere.  The plugin is server-side plugin and all client uesrs will be able to see it.

As you can see from screenshot below, The vCheck report is running inside the vSphere as plugin.  vCheck script is modified to generate hyperlink to the respective objects within vsphere. When VM name is clicked, it will take you the the VM summary page.  Same thing for hosts, cluster names, network, storage, and so on. I want to thank Reuben Stump.  He has been huge help.

I'll post the screenshot for now.  I will post with more updates with scripts and links.

UPDATE: more document links.
