How to find changes in VMware Tags with PowerCLI

[chr1s86]

Hi,

we want to use VMware tags for automating our firewall rules. So it's getting more important to log the changes for the tags.

I also write a log when a VM gets deleted or changed with LucD's function "Get-VIEventPlus". Something like this is what I'm looking for.

Has anyone does this before or can give me a hint?

Afaik, changing tags doesn't generate an event.

The only solution I see is to take a regular inventory, and compare that with the previous inventory.

But that will not tell you who did the change I'm afraid.

Ok 😕

Thanks for your quick answer! So I can stop digging further ...

But it would be nice to have this in the future!

I cannot imagine that I'm the only one who need this.
