Hello,
At first, I'm new to the vSphere SDK for Perl and to Perl itself. I managed to install the vSphere SDK for Perl on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine. I'm able to connect to my vCenter Servers and run the sample scripts provided with the SDK.
In our vCenter Environment we use a global custom field called "email" to store the email address of the virtual machine maintainer with the virtual machine. I'd like to have a script that checks virtual machines for existing snapshots. If a snapshot exists I like the script to gather the email address of the maintainer from the custom field and send an information email to the maintainer.
Maybe a script like the one just described already exists. If this is the case it would be nice if someone could show me where to find it. Otherwise I would appreciate it if someone with experience could help me build such a script. But remember, I'm a newbie to this. So bear with me, please.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Best regards,
Tronde
