Hello

I am trying to get my head around custom reports, can any one get me started with the following?

The report would show the current number of VMs running on each host from the zenpack http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-9384 VMware Infrastructure ESX Server

Ideally I would like a simple column approach with

ESX Host name          Guest VMs     vCPU used     Total memory used
esx01                         3                    4                    32GB

Is this possible, I have tried looking in the dmd but find it hard to navigate to the correct component etc, I tried this

d.getDeviceComponents() for a specific ESX host but it returns more data than I require, is there simple howto some where?

:-/

As far as I know there is nothing "simple" about custom reports :) . That said I know its possible. http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-9443 http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-9443 is about as close to a "primer" as I've come across. You might also need to add a custom method to allow the report to work: http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-2493 http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-2493


All that said, I think You'll need to work out the DMD code to get the data you want.
