What that persion mentioned below. The Chinese video explains it. But my Manderin is a bit rusty .....(Non-existent)

I need the Hypervisor to able to run docker for development and VMware workstation to run my test-lab.

I tried many things but it is either Hypervisor or WMware workstation.

The solution(credits to for the guy in the youtube video)

powershell with admin rights: **Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName HypervisorPlatform -All**
WARNING! : when you confirm with "Y" the server reboots immediately.

vRealize Network Insight - API - Powershell - Convert search to API json format

I'm trying to convert a search in vRNI to a search in the API with the same results.
But I'm experiencing some difficulties to get the same response results from the API in understandable human format.

I need to measure all the Edge's internet traffic and i came up with this search:

total(Total Network Traffic) of vnic '[vse-ABC-EDGE-01 (GUID)-0]-[Network adapter 1]' where vm = vse-ABC-EDGE-01

This example gives me the information i need but i cant get it converted to Powershell to get the same request.

The API documentation doesn't explain how you can convert a search in vRNI to an API search.

I wrote the following PowerShell script:

# Set the correct TLS protocol
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
# Address and login info
$baseurl = "https://vRNI.someserver.com"
$user = "admin@yourdomain.local"
$pass = 'ReallyDifficultPassword'
# Json format for aquiring token
$body = '{
 "username": "'+$user+'",
 "password": "'+$pass+'",
 "domain": {
 "domain_type" : "LDAP",
 "value" : "yourdomain.local"
 }
 }'
# Getting token for api queries
$url = $baseurl + "/api/ni/auth/token"
$auth = Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri $url -Body $body -ContentType "application/json"
#converting the token 
$token = $auth.token
$headers = @{"Authorization"="NetworkInsight $token"}
# First run to get VMs
$url = $baseurl + "/api/ni/entities/vms"
$entities = Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri $url -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $headers
$entities.results
# Testing search functionality
$body = @{
 "entity_type"= "VirtualMachine"
 "filter"=  "default_gateway is set"
  }
$url = $baseurl + "/api/ni/search"
$entities = Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri $url -Body ($body | ConvertTo-Json) -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $headers
$entities.results
# Find VMs with name starting with 'vse'
$body = @{
 "entity_type"= "VirtualMachine"
 "filter"=  "host.name like vse*"
  }
$url = $baseurl + "/api/ni/search"
$filter = Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri $url -Body ($body | ConvertTo-Json) -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $headers
$filter.results

Does anybody knows how to convert a search or know where to find that kind of information?
