PowerCLI: How to Automate Your VMWare Environment Reports
summary
PowerCLI claims ~400 cmdlets and a separate PowerCLI for Tenants with far fewer (11 get‑ci commands); practical testing shows using get-view vs get-vm cuts query time — for nine VMs get-vm 12.9s versus get-view 10.5s (21% faster (9 VMs)) and host queries drop from 5.3s to 0.344s (175% faster (host)). Uses get-stat for metrics where real-time = 20s samples that aggregate to 5min/day, 30min/week, 2hr/month, 24hr/year; scripts export per-VM CSVs for graphing and v-check provides ready HTML reports.
