Hello,

you can using powercli (querying events):

Get-VM | Get-VIEvent -Types Info | Where {$_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmBeingDeployedEvent"}

Taken from here.

Best regards,

That's pretty sweet command, but unfortunately it did not work.  Guessing the event was too long ago.

Hello,

the period of time the events stays in the vcenter dabase is defined in the database retention policy.

Best regards,

Pablo

Thank you Pablo all this is helpful.
