insert vievent by ps1 script

Hello,

i'd like to know if it's possible write a virtual machine event by ps1 script.

then retrive this event with command Get-VIEvent -Entity (Get-VM -name $vm) -Types Error

thanks

You can use the LogUserEvent to create your own events.

Something like this

$eventMgr = Get-View EventManager
$vm = Get-VM MyVM

$eventMgr.LogUserEvent($vm.Extensiondata.MoRef,"A sample user event")

You can retrieve these events as follows

Get-VIEvent -MaxSamples 10 -Entity $vm | where{$_.GetType().Name -eq "GeneralUserEvent"}
