is there a way to get vCenter Events in the last 5 minutes ?

Hi team,

I'm able to get the events from the vCenter using the Event Manage(github.com/vmware/govmomi/event)r. I see that it gives the events based on the PageSize specified to Events() function. is there a way to get all the vCenter Events that happened in a given interval say last 5 minutes ?

Thank you very much in advance :)

Yes, see this example: https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/master/examples/events/main.go#L51-L59

You can also use this convenience library I built: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/embano1/[email protected]/event#WithTime

Thank you. This helps a lot :) . I was able to filter events based on time. one disadvantage of using EventFilterSpec is that i cannot filter based on multiple events like VmPoweredOffEvent and VmPoweredOnEvent in at one time as EventTypeId works with only one event..

Welcome!

IMHO this is not correct. Are you using govmomi or my library? Both of them support EventTypeId to be of []string. Did you try passing a slice of event type strings?

@embano1 Sorry. It works as expected. it does take multiple events as input. Thank you so much for all the help...
