Report VM resource changes

[jaskaakki]

Hello,

Is there any way to create reports on changed VM resources on Morpheus Essentials core tier licensing?

I'd like to be notified when end user changes VM resources.

I'm okay making command line scripts if it can be done that way.

Thanks!

The Morpheus VM Essentials REST API could be used to generate such a report using the History endpoint (https://apidocs.morpheusdata.com/reference/listhistory) to fetch all of the processes. One thing to be aware of is that the output returned from the API endpoint is extremely verbose and you'll need to do a fair amount of parsing given the amount of events that will be returned. The other endpoint that could be considered is the Activity endpoint (https://apidocs.morpheusdata.com/reference/listactivity) but it appears that not every event is logged such as shutting down an instance.

The Morpheus Enterprise solution includes an approval feature that is used to require an approval before certain VM management operations are performed by users but this is not a feature available in the VM Essentials licensing tier.
