VM Disk Growth and VM's created
I am looking for some help creating a report of all my virtual machines and the change in size of data on the drives of each vm. I have looked at several of the canned reports that are available but it appears as though the weekly growth is based on an average of the last three months.
The VM's created report tells me that there were some new VMs created in the last week but it doesn't show me the names of the machines and that is something that I would like to know
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the insight. What I would be looking for would be another column showing weekly growth. Any ideas where that would be hiding?

The growth rates are tied to the logical disks vs. the actual VMDKs, since a VMDK could have multiple logical volumes. The easiest way would probably be to create a derived metric that rolls those all up to the VM level vs. each drive in the table (hard to make columns auto appear if a drive exists/doesn't)

Hi Mark,
The best way to do this is through dashboards - creating a table and converting it to a report. Drag virtual machines over and select Properties. Create a table from here. Below is a sample one I created. Is this what you are looking for or do you want more granularity?
