Hi and a quick question
Hi everyone,
New to FVE and the community so just saying gidday!
Hopefully someone can shed some expertise on the following for me... I've been playing about with the Dashboards and wondered if there's anyway to display the 'Recent Tasks' from the vCenter as part of a Dashboard?
Thanks!!
Craig

If you go to VMware Explorer for a VirtualCenter, the task info is displayed in a table at the bottom.

Cheers John,
Yep got that just trying to figure if there's anyway to get that table into a Dashboard that's been created?

Without some WCF work, it's not possible.
The object is not flagged as a Portlet, which is needed for it to show up as a drag and drop View.
The underlying data is stored as a list of ComplexObservations, which also limits how easily the data can be added to a dashboard.
If you are making a new WCF dashboard, you could add that view, since it is flagged as public.
under VMware -> Virtual Center in Configuration -> Definitions
