Can Orion capture vSphere host purple screen information?

I have a few Horizon hosts that seem to have started a pattern of purple screening daily. However, my current Orion deployment dosn't show me anything helpful. The hosts have all green indicators.

Can Orion capture anything useful to see why the servers are crashing?

Thanks in advance!

So, the hard part is knowing that it's at a purple screen but let's say that if down for x amount of time or some VMWare event ID triggers and alert and you want to get that data. The best Orion can do is trigger a script that automate the process in the article below.

I don't have a script written that does it but give it a shot.

Extracting the log file after an ESX or ESXi host fails with a purple screen error (1006796) (vmware.com)
