Wow, vSphere vCenter Server has a lot of new alarms! Great for monitoring your environment. But a pain when it comes to documenting it. Thank God VMware for the PowerCLI! Just a few lines of code can do the documentation for you.
Here’s how:
# Report vSphere Alarms # by Hugo Peeters # www.peetersonline.nl #Region Variables $VCServer = "myVCServer" $Outfile = "D:\scripts\Alarms.txt" Connect-VIServer $VCServer $SI = Get-View ServiceInstance $AM = Get-View $SI.Content.AlarmManager $myCol = @() ForEach ($Folder in (Get-Folder)) { ForEach ($Alarm in ($AM.GetAlarm(($Folder|Get-View).MoRef))) { $Alarm = Get-View $Alarm $myObj = "" | Select Folder, Name, Description, Enabled, Summary $myObj.Folder = $Folder.Name $myObj.Name = $Alarm.Info.Name $myObj.Description = $Alarm.Info.Description $myObj.Enabled = $Alarm.Info.Enabled $myObj.Summary = $Alarm.Info.Expression.Expression | Out-String $myObj $myCol += $myObj } } $myCol | Where {$_.Enabled} | Out-File $Outfile ii $Outfile
