Track vCenter Change Events with Foglight

Change Analyzer has a really awesome feature called Change History.  The Change History View displays all of the vCenter change events that occurred to VMs, hosts, clusters, datastores, and resource pools within a selected environment, during a selected timeframe.

Foglight does provide a Out-Of-The-Box report specifically for Change Events called 'Change History'.  You can setup this report to run on a scheduled basis and automatically email to one or many recipients.

 

Use the Time Range selector to go back-in-time to view past Change Events.

By default, Foglight retains Change Events for 13-months (the default retention policy can be modified).
