Hi all,
I create a report manually once a week using information found in vRealize Operations Manager. I have multiple environments to cover and this is time consuming. I would like to create a custom report with vRealize Operations Manager to automate my report but I just started working with VMware and my knowledge base is very limited.
Here is the data I would like to be included in my report;
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Apart from the alerts you are looking for data which is not easy to show in a report. The license part can be fixed with a super metric. How many vROps environments do you have and do you update them on a regular base?
I have 14 different vROp servers that I report on weekly. Do you think I'd have a better shot at achieving automation with PowerShell?
In that case the API is your friend.
GET <FQDN>/api/versions/current will get you
GET <FQDN>/api/adapters will get you
Best to create a super metric for this and collect it by an API call
GET <FQDN>/api/alerts will get you
Check out the full API documentation on:
https://<FQDN>/suite-api/doc/swagger-ui.html
The only thing missing is the server name, but that can be taken from your own input (or even as a super metric).
Thank you so much!
Last super newb question,
From where do I run these commands?
You need to write a script for that. The script can be in any of your favorite language.
For Powershell this might be a good starting point;

Could you give me an example as to how you would write this following part in PowerShell?
GET <FQDN>/api/versions/current will get you

If that script is what you are looking for, don't forget to mark the previous post as "correct answer".
Thank you! To you and your loved ones have a nice time these holidays and a healthy 2021!
