Uptime on vcenters

[PandzicM]

I'm looking for command in powershell/powercli to find uptime of my vcenters (windows and appliances based)
thanks

You can try it from  powershell

Get-CimInstance -ClassName win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName XXXX | select csname, lastbootuptime

or

Get-CimInstance -ClassName win64_operatingsystem -ComputerName XXXX | select csname, lastbootuptime

On the VCSA we use SNMP to get the Uptime.

For the vCenter appliance, one can use the Get-VAMISummary function as explained in the below link -

For the vCenter on Windows (only if it is a virtual machine), you might have to rely on VM uptime information obtained from the vCenter -
