Snapshot Revert Events

[Sivaramsharmar]

Hi All,

Does any one has powercli script to get the VM Snapshot revert (Event) Details past 2 days.

Similiar Output like below:

VM Name                User Name(Who Reverted)               Date (When They Reverted)

--------------                   ---------------------------------                    -------------------------------

VM1                                        User1                                                  5/3/2018

VM2                                        User2                                                  4/3/2018

Try like this

$start = (Get-Date).AddDays(-2)

Get-VIEvent -Start $start -MaxSamples ([int]::MaxValue) |

where{$_ -is [VMware.Vim.EventEx] -and $_.EventTypeId -eq 'com.vmware.vc.vm.VmStateRevertedToSnapshot'} |

Select CreatedTime,UserName,ObjectName,

    @{N='SnapshotName';E={($_.Arguments | where{$_.Key -eq 'snapshotName'}).Value}}

Hi Lucd,

I tried your script, but the output is null.

But 2 days back there are couple of VMs for which Snapshot got reverted. I can able to see it in Tasks & Events.

I am using below PowerCLI Version:

Seems to be ok for me.

Can you show what you see in Tasks & Events?

[Sivaramsharmar]

I can able to see the Events in vCenter Taks & Events GUI.

Found it, I forgot the MaxSamples parameter.

I updated the code above, please try again.

Script is working As Expected.
