Hello,
Today, i wanted to share with you a vRO workflow helping me to get the list of restarted virtual machine by HA on a vCenter. This Workflow can be called by any monitoring tool when an snmp trap is sent by vCenter :
Inputs & Outputs
Workflow Schema
Source Code for Used on Scriptable Task
//init variables
//iterator
var i=0;
//the list of restarted Virtual machines
var VMList = [];
//The Time when VM HA Happened
var Time = [];
//Get All vCenter VMs
var allvms = vCenter_Name.allVirtualMachines;
//filter Events
for each (var vm in allvms){
var beginTime = new Date();
//Set Start Date here we chose to parse the last 24hours events
beginTime.setHours(beginTime.getHours()-24);
//Create Event
var vcEventFilterSpec = new VcEventFilterSpec();
var spec = new VcEventFilterSpec();
var vcEventFilterSpecByTime = new VcEventFilterSpecByTime();
vcEventFilterSpec.time = vcEventFilterSpecByTime;
vcEventFilterSpecByTime.beginTime = beginTime;
//the Type ID of HA Event
spec.eventTypeId = ["com.vmware.vc.ha.VmRestartedByHAEvent"];
spec.entity = new VcEventFilterSpecByEntity();
spec.entity.entity = vm;
spec.entity.recursion = VcEventFilterSpecRecursionOption.self;
spec.time = vcEventFilterSpecByTime;
var events = vm.sdkConnection.eventManager.queryEvents(spec);
//For each VM we query VM restart Event on the 24 hours last hours
for each (var ev in events) {
System.log(ev);
VMList[i]= String(ev.fullFormattedMessage).split(' ')[5];
Time[i]= String (ev.createdTime);
i=i+1;
}
}
