Script to pull ESXi host performance daily

[CraigV75]

Hi Guys,

I am looking to automate the reporting on multiple ESXi hosts. Luckily we only have 2 vCenter servers in the mix (busy transitioning to a new vCenter server).

What I'd like to know is 2-fold:

1. What script can I use to log into these 2 vCenter servers and pull usage stats for the following:
   1. CPU Usage (%)
   2. RAM Usage (%)
   3. Datastore (Allocated, Used, Free)
2. What script can I use to log onto a handful of stand-alone hosts to pull the same information.

I am a Powershell/PowerCLI noob, so I'll need a bit of hand-holding on this one to get it done right.

Thanks!

Hi,

Here is a full script about gathering information about ESXi hosts:

You can grab some ideas from this script:

Get-VMHost | Select HostName, MemoryInstalled, MemoryAllocated, MemoryConsumed, MemoryUsage, CPUMax, CPUAvg, CPUMin
