Hi, Just created myself a simple script to use the 'VMware.Skyline.InsightsApi' PowerShell cmdlet to pull the current findings & affected objects, to create a Jira issue per finding. However got some issues that basically need some new features to fix. Being able to tell if a finding is hidden E.g. vSphere-VCFActivateDRS-KB#81651 (Activate vSphere DRS). We are not licensed for DRS, but everytime I poll for active findings this is being regenerated Being able to tell if a finding has been remdiated E.g. vSphere-NonDefaultports-KB#2039095 (ESXi Host has an open non-default port). This popped up for 1 day and disappeared; there was no way to have my script auto-update the job to close it out Other feature that would be awesome to have (and be able to detect it via the API as well) would be able to tell Skyline to ignore specific VMs for specific findings (as added on in this post - https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Skyline-Community-Discussions/Hiding-individual-VMs-from-Findings-amp-Recommendations/m-p/2906884) Examples vSphere-VMmorethan3snapshots-KB#1025279 (Virtual Machine has more than 3 Snapshots). We have a VM that requires a min of 2 snapshots (1 is for Cisco Hyperflex, so our backup solution can back it up; the 2nd one (and subsequent) is the snapshot used by Citrix for the VDA deployment) vSphere-VMsnapshotover7days-KB#1025279Severity (Virtual Machine has Snapshots older than 7 days) Its the same VM in this one, as the Hyperflex snapshot will always exist its going to be older than 7 days at all times (unless someone stuffs up) Like the findings are good to know, but it would be awesome to tell Skyline to ignore those VMs we are okay with so the issue is created for other VMs (e.g. having it ignore the snapshot issues for our Citrix VDA golden image; but alert us for every other VM).
