6fusion vCenter Export Script
{% endfile %}

From the VMware PowerCLI, navigate to the folder where the script was saved, and execute the script:     ./vmware-export.ps1

Follow the on-screen instructions. The script will ask for the following input:

* **vCenter Server** - This is the IP address of your vCenter Server
* **Username** - Username for authenticating against vCenter
* **Password** - Password for authenticating against vCenter
* **Directory Name** - This will be the directory where files are exported, and subsequently this will serve as the name of the zipped-file once the process is complete. This should be named something meaningful to the user (ie: company, export date - company20200131)

The script will:

* Connect to the vCenter server using the username and password
* Generate several CSV files containing the machine metrics information for that infrastructure for the past 30 days (Note: this may take several minutes).
* Compress and store the collection of CSV files into a single ZIP file, named according to the “directory name” provided.

You are now ready to send the single ZIP file to 6fusion.  Please send 6fusion support an email - <support@6fusion.com>, informing them that your extract is complete.

6fusion will respond to your new ticket with a secured FTP server address and username and passwords you can use to upload your new ZIP file.
