Download the 6fusion Export Script for VMware:

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 - [email protected], 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.
