New VMware modules dropped
Did anybody else notice the ~44 new and ~5 updated modules around VMware dropping in the last hour or so? Does anyone know how to implement these new modules? Since there was talk of making the instances into resources I don’t want to just bring them in without knowing how it’s going to mess with my device list (which is tightly bound to billing for us).
Datasource to get Uptime of VMWare vCenter Appliance
I cannot find a DataSource to build off to grab the uptime of our vCenter appliances. I am able to get ESXi hosts uptimes with: import com.vmware.vim25.mo.*; import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.esx.ESX; def host = hostProps.get("system.hostname"); def user = hostProps.get("esx.user"); def pass = hostProps.get("esx.pass"); def addr = hostProps.get("esx.url") ?: "https://${host}/sdk"; def svc = new ESX(); svc.open(addr, user, pass, 10 * 1000); // Timeout in 10 seconds def rootFolder = svc.getServiceInstance().getRootFolder(); def hosts = new InventoryNavigator(rootFolder).searchManagedEntities("HostSystem"); hosts.each { esx -> def uptimeinSeconds = esx.summary.quickStats; println "UpTimeInSeconds=${uptimeinSeconds.uptime}"; } return 0; but cannot seem to adapt this for vCenter Appliances. Any help would be appreciated!Checking Reboot of VMs
Has anyone had any luck monitoring VMStatus for reboots without using the DaysSinceLastReboot? as this gives a false reading, as it kicks in when the VM is vMotioned. I have tried the GuestState but it looks like the GuestOS isnt in the state for long enough for that to trigger
