vROPs - Report to show new VMs created

[savagea3112]

Would like to send out a report on a weekly basis showing all new VM creations/deletions over the course of that week.

Possible?

I'm looking for this also.

Haven't been able to find a way to write that report, I've requested in the past, so hopefully they will add that feature in the next version.  However, if you go in "Administration -> Inventory Explorer" and expand Recently added objects, you can see newly added objects for Last 1 Day, Last 7 Day, Last 10 Days, Last 30 Days.

Can't export the list and doesn't show you what's been deleted, but it at least gives you an idea on what objects have been added to your environment up to the last 30 Days.

Don't think there's a way to do it. Log Inisght can, do it and you could set it up to send you and email every week.

I would like to see this reporting in vROPS as well. But in the mean time could you elaborate how to get that information out of Log Insight?

The following guide will show you how to add it to a dashboard.  Although you can add any dashboard to a report, I was not able to successfully get it to display the same way.

This looks like the creation time of the vm object within vrops and not the creation time of the vm from deployment. In our environment we deployed vrops long after the first Vms were created (at least 4 years after) When running the link it only showed the VMs creation date as when we deployed vrops so most of our vms were created on the 31st may. Just something to be aware of.

Good point sxnxr, that dashboard is only for latest VMs only which is what most people want in general.  To get a report out of it, they unfortunately have to take a screenshot for now.

Here is download site for those who just want to download the Latest VMs Created Dashboard

You would think this would be a obvious report they should include in vROPS. I need it also.
