Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the number of virtual machine operations that are occurring across clusters and datacenters. You can also use this script to raise events when the number of Storage vMotions or vMotions exceed a specified threshold. This script generates data streams for Storage vMotion operations and vMotion operations.
NOTE:The VirtualCenter_VmOperations Knowledge Script is supported on vCenter 4.0 or later.
vSphere datacenters and clusters
By default, this script runs every 5 minutes.
