Learning PowerCLI - Second Edition

Retrieving statistical data

The Get-OMStat cmdlet retrieves statistical data from the specified vRealize Operations Manager server. The syntax of the Get-OMStat cmdlet is as follows:

Get-OMStat [-Resource] <OMResource[]> [-Key <OMStatKey[]>]
    [-From <DateTime>] [-To <DateTime>] [-IntervalType 
    <OMStatIntervalType>] [-IntervalCount <Int32>] [-RollupType 
    <OMStatRollupType>] [-Server <OMServer[]>] [<CommonParameters>]

The -Resource parameter is required.

In the first example, we will retrieve all of the statistical data for virtual machine DC001 and display the first five objects found, using the following command:

PowerCLI C:\> Get-OMStat -Resource DC001 | Select-Object -First 5

The output of the preceding command is as follows:
