Data Mining vSphere with PowerCLI
summary
Demo shows concrete PowerCLI commands to extract and analyze vSphere data: use get-view at scale to pull specific properties, run get-stat with start/finish and interval for CPU/memory samples, and query get-vi events to correlate migrations and snapshots. Examples include listing stale snapshots, identifying VMWare Tools update candidates, exporting formatted reports via ImportExcel, and running VChek/asbuilt audits. Some live commands hiccup in the recording but Excel exports and audits complete successfully.
