How to retrieve Host name from Get-Vievent

[ewattnem]

I was wondering if someone could point me in a direction...

My code snippet is like this

      Get-VIevent –Maxsamples 100 -Server $physicalserver1 | Select-Object CreatedTime, host, fullformattedmessage

Which returns something like this...

   CreatedTime                    Host                                                  FullFormattedMessage
   -----------                            ----                                                    --------------------
   11/30/2020 3:25:06 PM    VMware.Vim.HostEventArgument    Lost access....

How do I show the hostname in the output instead of VMware.Vim.HostEventArgument?

Thanks for your help!

You can use a calculated property.

Get-VIevent –Maxsamples 100 -Server $physicalserver1 | 
Select-Object CreatedTime, @{N='VMHost';E={$_.Host.Name}}, fullformattedmessage
