Reporting on snapshots

[TheVMinator]

What is the easiest way to find all snapshots older than a week and send out an email notification using Orchestrator?

[ChristianWehner]

Hi VMinator,

there is a method called: VcPlugin.getAllVirtualMachineSnapshots() which returns you all available snapshots. Next step, loop through all this snapshots and check the snapshot.createTime if it is older than one week build a string with VM and snapshot information and send it per mail (Object: EmailMessage).

Best regards,

Chris

Okay thank you. Is there also a built-in workflow that can do the same thing?

Here is something a put together a while back.  It may need some tweeking but may point you in the direction you want.
