Monitor connectivity between vCloud Director and vCenter (and NSX if possible)

Hello,

I am working on some vCD automation and need to create some checks to ensure proper vCD health. Using the vCD PowerCLI, is anyone able to help me find how to get the vCD to vCenter health status...I would also like to get vCD to NSX health, but that is secondary atm.

This is what I require using the API call below

https://vcloud.fqdn.com/api/query?type=virtualCenter&format=references" name="virtualCenter" type="application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.query.references+json

<VirtualCenterRecord clusterHealthStatus="GREEN" clustersCount="2" demandedCpuMhz="115344" demandedMemMb="152521" diskFreeBytes="83990123905024" diskSizeBytes="102382893531136" diskUncommittedBytes="94160256624457" hasProxy="false" isBusy="false" isEnabled="true" isProviderScoped="true" isSupported="true" isTenantScoped="false" listenerState="CONNECTED" name="XXX-vc1" poweredOnVmCount="139" reservedCpuMhz="10990" reservedMemMb="65286" status="READY" totalCpuMhz="233896" totalMemMb="2734223" totalVmCount="218" url="https://XXX-vc1.fqdn.local:0/sdk" userName="administrator@vsphere.local" uuid="AF92BDA6-9C0A-492C-8257-xxxxxxxx" vcVersion="7.0.2" vsmIP="https://10.x.x.x:443" vsmVersion="6.4.13" href="https://vcloud.fqdn.com/api/admin/extension/vimServer/d8e4bae2-2a52-4cee-bea7-xxxxxxx"/>

Thank you

Hi.

You can use Search-Cloud -QueryType VirtualCenter

 

 

$vcs = Search-Cloud -QueryType VirtualCenter
$vcs.name
$vcs.Url
$vcs.Status
$vcs.ListenerState
$vcs.IsEnabled

Thank you, that gave me what I needed @Macleud 

Any idea how to get NSX-v and NSX-T info?

Not sure if this is suitable for monitoring.
That's all you can get through the PowerCli.
But even in the API you can’t see more.

# Nsx-V Manager
$vcs = Search-Cloud -QueryType VirtualCenter
$VcView =$vcs | Get-Ciview
$Vsm = $VcView.Link | where {$_.type -eq "application/vnd.vmware.admin.vshieldmanager+xml"}
$Vsm | ForEach-Object {Get-Ciview -id "$($_.Href)"} 

# Nsx-T Manager
$Vcloud = $DefaultCIServers | Get-Ciview
$Vcloud.GetExtension().GetNsxtManagers().NsxTManager
