Show the name of the container of an object in vrops

[Souad90]

hello everyone,

I want to show for a Datastore the name of its datacenter and its datastore cluster in a view. I tried to create a super metric but they are only for numeric values so i get 0 as a result. Any idea how to do that ?

Big thanks.

Not sure how that would be possible. Think the best way to do what you need is to use the API.

Have written a blog post about how to get started with the vRops API with Powershell, which might be of help to you. https://michaelryom.dk/vrops-api-consumed-with-powershell

Thank you very much. Could you please tell me how can I get started? Practically, how will i connect to the terminal of vROPS? And Will I be able to design new table styles and other widgets ?
