guest OS count by cluster

[gjbrown]

Hi all,

I am looking to create a report that will give me guest OS count by cluster..

essentially

2 vms running 2008r2 on cluster xyz

5 vms running 2012r2 on cluster xyz

7 vms running 2016 on cluset abc

Does anyone have a report definition they are will to share or help me find the right way to do this?

Thank you,

1- Log in to your vROps instance with a user with privileges to run reports.

2- Click on Dashboards Menu.

3- On the Navigation Pane click on Reports.

4- Use the search filter to search for a report using the name - "Virtual Machine Inventory Summary".

5- Once you click on the Run Report button, you get a choice to run this report against a particular construct - Select a particular cluster

6-  Click on OK to generate the report.

7- You can view the report in the Generated Reports section and download a PDF version or a CSV file based on how you would like to present this data.

Alternatively, you can use the below pre-defined view or create a custom view from scratch:

View: Virtual Machine Guest OS Name

Description: Distribution of Virtual Machines by OS Name selected in the VM configuration

Subject: Virtual Machine

Metrics and Properties: config|guestFullName

Time Range ‐ 7 days
