vSphere environment dashboard page

[bernz]

Hello guys,

I would like to implement on our environment a dashboard using htm page showing a search box for  virtual machine, host & datastore.

This will help us showing info of the object searched.

Is this possible?

You could take a look at my vSphere Object by Path post.

It takes a path to an object (which would come from a treeview in your app) and returns the vSphere object, which will give you access to all properties for that object.

Hi LucD

Basically, my expected output is the details of VM I searched. Like what Search My VM tool does before, it sends back VM vcenter, datacenter, cluster, config, host, vmx location, datastore.

Not sure what you mean by 'config'.

For the others, try something like this

$vmName = 'MyVM'

Get-VM -Name $vmName |

Select Name,

    @{N='vCenter';E={$_.Uid.Split(“:”)[0].Split(“@”)[1]}},

    @{N='Datacenter';E={Get-Datacenter -VM $_ | select -ExpandProperty Name}},

    @{N='Cluster';E={Get-Cluster -VM $_ | select -ExpandProperty Name}},

    @{N='Host';E={$_.VMHost.Name}},

    @{N='VMX';E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName}},

    @{N='Datastore';E={(Get-View -Id $_.ExtensionData.Datastore -Property Name | Select -ExpandProperty Name) -join '|'}}
