How do view history of tasks?

I have a vSphere environment, and many people can log in it.

I can only view recent tasks in the tasks.

Sometimes, I want to view old tasks.

What should I do?

In webclient, under tasks and events, you can find export option in events. While exporting you will be prompted to enter time. That will give you all tasks and events.

I would suggest using powercli script to get all the task events within a time range as per your requirement
