I'm trying to configure a report when I can find out if a certain set of VM's have moved Host in the last 90 days. I have been using the "Infrastructure Changes By Object" report to poll this information, but this seems to be lacking a filter to allow me to only report on a pre-defined set of VMs and instead I am being provided with a report on ALL of the VMs in my environment.
I have also tried to create a custom report to poll this information where I have used the following columns (Name; Host System; Last Modified) and then manually setting the exceptions to only include the VMs I need. This works well, but it only gives me the current Host and not the previous Host. Therefore, it is difficult for me to ascertain if the Date Modified represents the date the VM was created OR the date it was migrated from another Host.
This would be most helpful if there was a way I could filter the "Infrastructure Changes by Object" report to allow me to choose the VMs to report on as this report has all the information I need (Previous Host; New Host; Date Modified etc.)
Hi Stuart,
You can choose not all infrastructure, but particular hosts where desired VMs are running.
Or even better, you can create a group of desired VMs in Business View and choose the group as a scope in the report.
Thanks!
Do you know what parameters I would need to set if I wanted to know if a VM had migrated between hosts? I had been using the VM; Host and Last Modified fields but I'm not sure this is providing me with the correct information for what I need it for.
I'm concerned this is providing me with any changes made on the VM and not specifically the change in Host.
