How to capture CPU Memory DISk and Network utilzation for Specific set of VMs

[MrVmware9423]

Dear Team,

I want PCLI script which will capture current CPU , Memory DISk and Network utilization for all Production VMs.

with the help of custom attributes(Annotations) I have defined different category such as production / staging / UAT / Exclude . PFA below snap

my pruprose is I will run this script on daily basis to capture production VMs utilization.

need ur help to achieve this.

regards

Mr VMware

The statistics report would in fact be the same as the one I gave in your other thread, but the selection of the VMs would be different.

Something like this

$vm = Get-VM  |

    where {(Get-Annotation -Entity $_ -Name Project | Select -ExpandProperty Value) -eq "Exclude"}

Thanks LUCD,

I have added the above line in existing script. PFA script and confirm will it work or not

and

I have also told in output it capture stats after every 20sec , I want to stats after every 3 hour

[LucD]

I showed in Re: How to capture CPU, Mem , Disk , Network performance

how to group the results in 3 hour intervals.

Dear LUCD.

I have ran the below script but it also capture other VMs details  as we want only EXCLUDE VMs details.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$start = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)

$stat = "cpu.usage.average","mem.usage.average","disk.usage.average","net.usage.average"

$vms = Get-VM
where {(Get-Annotation -Entity $_ -Name Project | Select -ExpandProperty Value) -eq "Exclude"}

&{Get-Stat -Entity $vms -Start $start -Stat $stat |

Group-Object -Property EntityId,{[math]::Floor($_.Timestamp.Hour/3)} | %{

    New-Object PSObject -Property @{

        Time = $_.Group[0].Timestamp

        VM = $_.Group[0].Entity.Name

        CPU = $_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "cpu.usage.average" -and $_.Instance -eq ""} |

            Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average

        Mem = $_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "mem.usage.average" -and $_.Instance -eq ""} |

            Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average

        Disk = $_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "disk.usage.average" -and $_.Instance -eq ""} |

            Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average

        Net = $_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "net.usage.average" -and $_.Instance -eq ""} |

            Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average

    }

}} | Select Time,VM,CPU,Mem,Disk,Net | Export-Csv vm-report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

You seem to have forgotten the pipe symbol (|) at the end of the 1st line

$vms = Get-VM |

where {(Get-Annotation -Entity $_ -Name Project | Select -ExpandProperty Value) -eq "Exclude"}

[MrVmware9423]

after adding the pipe scripts works it throws below error.

need ur assistance to resolve

[LucD]

It looks as if the annotation "Project" is not available on all VMs.

Is that the case ?

[MrVmware9423]

Project Annotation is visible on all VMs....

[LucD]

Can you check with the following

foreach($vm in Get-VM){

    Try{

        Get-Annotation -Entity $vm -Name 'Project' -ErrorAction Stop

    }

    Catch{

        Write-Warning "No Project annotation on $($vm.Name)"

    }

}
