Check VMware Snapshots

[64kb]

Hello,


how can I check for snapshots with Zabbix (Ver. 5 on Debian 10 Linux) in a VMware environment with VCSA.
I would like to be informed about old snapshots. Thanks for your help!

With regards

Mathias

Hello,


unfortunately, since nobody could help me, I made a solution myself. For all who are interested, here is my solution:

1. Install Powershell for Linux on Zabbix-Server
2. Install VMware Power CLI on Zabbix-Server
3. Create a Powershellscript, that make a login to VCSA, read all Snapshots, and write the snapshots that older then x-days to (for example) snapshots.txt
4. Create a Bash-Script that runs the Powershellscript (for example) every hour
5. Create a Item for the Zabbix-Server that check the Filesize for snapshots.txt
6. Create a Trigger that responds when the filesize > 0 (older Snapshots are exists)
7. Create also a action that send a mail with the link to "snapshots.txt" when the trigger responds.

This is not the most elegant solution, but it works very well.

Regards

Mathias
