Another quick blog post about checking OS Uptime for VMs and ESXi Hosts using powercli

## Get VM OS Uptime Using Powercli

$stat = 'sys.osuptime.latest'

$now = Get-Date

$vms = Get-cluster * | Get-VM "*LAB-*" |?{$_.name –notlike “*esxi*”}

Get-Stat -Entity $vms -Stat $stat -Realtime -MaxSamples 1 |

Select @{N='VM';E={$_.Entity.Name}},

@{N='LastOSBoot';E={$now.AddSeconds(- $_.Value)}},

@{N='UptimeDays';E={[math]::Floor($_.Value/(24*60*60))}} | ft -a

## Get VMHost Uptime Using Powecli

Get-VMHost | Select Name,

@{N="Last Boot (UTC)";E={$_.ExtensionData.Summary.Runtime.BootTime}},

@{N="Uptime Days"; E={New-Timespan -Start $_.ExtensionData.Summary.Runtime.BootTime -End (Get-Date) | Select -ExpandProperty Days}} | ft -a

## With Last Boot Time and Local Time - Uptime

Get-Vmhost | sort-object Name | Select-Object Name,

@{N="Last Boot (UTC)";E={$_.ExtensionData.Summary.Runtime.BootTime}},

@{N='LocalTime';E={[datetime]::SpecifyKind($_.Date,'Utc').ToLocalTime()}},

@{N="Uptime Days"; E={New-Timespan -Start $_.ExtensionData.Summary.Runtime.BootTime -End (Get-Date) | Select -ExpandProperty Days}} | ft -a
