VM created data is missing some vm info



Hi All,


My code is working fine. ie


Get-VM -Location XYZ  | Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).adddays(-30) | `
where {$_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmBeingDeployedEvent" -or $_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmCreatedEvent" -or $_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmRegisteredEvent"}..


But I was surprised  when i found one of the VM created it (the above code) did not cach.


The vcenter logs shows the event tho :-


info      3/15/2014 9:53:18 PM    <<userid>>              Creating <<VMname>> on host <hostname>>in XYZ


But I do not see this in the server evet/task tab for some reasons.


Can anyone suggest anything  here ?


Thanks

A short remark on the event types you are using, I would use the VmDeployedEvent instead of the VmBeingDeployedEvent.

In the latter you are not sure that the VM was actually deployed, it just says that the VM is being deployed.

I would also add the VmClonedEvent to the Where-clause.

Fyi, in my Events, Dear Boy, Events – Part 2 post I show a script to get a handy overview of all possible events in your vSphere environment.

And you can of course also use the Gui from my Event-O-Matic post :smileygrin:

Thanks .. I by purpose left the cloned one after reading an article .. but let me add that should not harm me.. BTW the fix in my case was the "-MaxSamples ([int]::MaxValue)"

Yes, that 100 events limit can be a nuisance :smileygrin:
