Hi All
there any function to get guest reboot count ?
10x
I assume you mean the restarting of the guest OS, and not a poweroff/poweron of the VM itself ?
If yes, you would need to query the guest OS itself to find these.
For example, on a Windows OS you can query the system eventlog and look for events with ID 12 (start up) and 13 (shut down).

Hi LucD,
I create a virtual machine from ISO WIN2K8R2,
In the middle of the installation have reboot,
Ok, that is a special situation.
Did you already check the installation logs ? See here for locations.
I don't what to monitor the OS, i want to monitor the vcenter "when the Guest is restart".
.
Afaik, unless the guest reboot is initiated from vSphere client or Web client, I don't think there is any logging on the vSphere level.
That is why I advised to check the eventlogs or the installation logs
