get DRS rule conflicts in cluster using web services api

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to retrieve the DRS rules that have conflicts using the web services api.

I've been able to get the DRS rules config in the ClusterComputeResource->configuration->rule:

rule = (vim.cluster.RuleInfo) [ (vim.cluster.AntiAffinityRuleSpec) { dynamicType = <unset>, dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [], key = 4, status = <unset>, enabled = true, name = 'AFLSDKH', mandatory = <unset>, userCreated = true, inCompliance = <unset>, ruleUuid = '5224c444-3cd1-084b-54d5-2576b510d49a', vm = (vim.VirtualMachine) [ 'vim.VirtualMachine:vm-1040', 'vim.VirtualMachine:vm-1044' ] }, (vim.cluster.AffinityRuleSpec) { dynamicType = <unset>, dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [], key = 5, status = <unset>, enabled = false, name = 'asdfasg', mandatory = <unset>, userCreated = true, inCompliance = <unset>, ruleUuid = '523fee15-9eaf-0a51-3276-82046d4caaf0', vm = (vim.VirtualMachine) [ 'vim.VirtualMachine:vm-1044', 'vim.VirtualMachine:vm-1040' ] } ]

But I cannot find anywhere the info about the conflicts of each rule and the vms in conflict.

Does anybody know how to retrieve this info?

Thanks in advance.

When we create Anti-Affinity and then Affinity Rule for the same VMs. The Affinity rule should become invalid(enabled = false)

i.e. Anti-Affinity conflicting with Affinity Rule.

API to get the status:

ClusterComputeResource -> ClusterConfigInfo -> ClusterRuleInfo -> isEnabled()

eg:

boolean status = ruleInfo[1].getInfo().isEnabled();

Data Object - ClusterRuleInfo(vim.cluster.RuleInfo)

enabled (boolean) ==> Flag to indicate whether or not the rule is enabled. Set this property when you configure the rule. The default value is false (disabled). If there is a rule conflict, the Server can override the setting to disable a rule.
