Generating an Overview Report

The Invoke-VcfOverviewReport cmdlet generates a system overview report. This report contains high-level information about the VMware Cloud Foundation system. This report may be used to provide a quick system overview of the system to your VMware representative.

Generate an Overview Report for a VMware Cloud Foundation Instance

1. Start PowerShell (Run as Administrator).

2. Replace the values in the sample code with values for the instance of VMware Cloud Foundation to generate a system overview report for SDDC Manager instance and run the commands in the PowerShell console.

   Example:

     Windows   Linux

   $sddcManagerFqdn = "sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io"
   $sddcManagerUser = "admin@local"
   $sddcManagerPass = "VMw@re1!VMw@re1!"
   $reportPath = "F:\Reporting"
   

   $sddcManagerFqdn = "sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io"
   $sddcManagerUser = "admin@local"
   $sddcManagerPass = "VMw@re1!VMw@re1!"
   $reportPath = "/home/vmware/reporting"
   

3. Generate the report by running the command in the PowerShell console.

   Invoke-VcfOverviewReport -sddcManagerFqdn $sddcManagerFqdn -sddcManagerUser $sddcManagerUser -sddcManagerPass $sddcManagerPass -reportPath $reportPath
   

   If you prefer to anonymize the data, you can use the -anonymized parameter.

   Invoke-VcfOverviewReport -sddcManagerFqdn $sddcManagerFqdn -sddcManagerUser $sddcManagerUser -sddcManagerPass $sddcManagerPass -reportPath $reportPath -anonymized
   

4. Review the generated HTML report.
