Who set that limit?

[jasonrobinson]

Is it possible to determine who set a limit on a VM? I am pulling vCenter events and see the ConfigSpec property and according to the SDK documentation it should be listed under MemoryAllocation. However I am not seeing anything. I can see other changes to the VM such as adding cpu or memory under ConfigSpec.

VMware vSphere 5.1

memoryAllocation*

ResourceAllocationInfo

Resource limits for memory. Reconfigure privilege: VirtualMachine.Config.Resource

This is what I see on the event.

Any ideas or is it not just tracked in the ConfigSpec?

I'm afraid it is not tracked in this event.

I just tried (in vSphere 5.5), and the event doesn't seem to track neither the CpuAllocation nor the MemoryAllocation properties.

Ok that's what it looked like to me. Thanks for looking!
