VMAN Integration

cmblackburn

We have elminated our VMAN appliance but I've received a complaint that its now difficult to search for a esx host by name now, with the VMAN appliance there was a search box you could search for a ESC host name or cluster or VM, is that functionality gone now?  or could someone point me in the right direction to find this functionality.

Thanks

All the current versions have a search icon in the top right corner, it works for nearly any kind of orion entity

If you are interested in something a little more narrowed down I've also written a custom query that might give a decent starting point (my query is specifically for VM's but also displays the host info, so would only require a bit of rework to make it an ESX search.

select vm.displayname AS vSphereName, vm.detailsurl as [_LinkFor_vSphereName], vm.ipaddress AS IP,  vm.detailsurl as [_LinkFor_IP], h.hostname as ESXiHost,  h.detailsurl as [_LinkFor_ESXiHost], vm.processorcount AS CPUCount, vm.memoryconfigured / 1048576 as Memory_MB ,vm.powerstate as PowerState

,case

when vm.powerstate = 'poweredon' then '/orion/vim/images/statusicons/small-VMware-vm-up.gif'

when vm.powerstate = 'poweredoff' then '/orion/vim/images/statusicons/small-VMware-vm-shutdown.png'

end as [_iconfor_PowerState]

from orion.vim.virtualmachines vm

join orion.vim.hosts h on h.hostid=vm.hostid

where vSphereName like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%'

or

IP like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%'

or

ESXiHost like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%'

or

vm.guestdnsname like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%'
