How to audit vSphere Standalone VMRC or HTML5…

An interesting question that came in last week from one of our TAMs was how to identify and audit Virtual Machine Remote Console (VMRC) logins from vSphere? The TAM was specifically interested in being able to correlate that a particular user had logged into the VMRC of a VM during a specific period of time. Luckily, this is easily retrievable through vCenter Servers’s Event sub-system that stores information about everything that happens in your vSphere environment. The Events can be accessed using either the vSphere Web Client shown below or programmatically using the vSphere API which the UI is built on top of.

Quick Tip – How to quickly find the VM Display…

It is a pretty common practice for customers to use their vCenter Server to manage the underlying ESXi host which is also running the vCenter Server VM, sometimes referred to as a self managed vSphere Cluster. For organizations that have a strict naming convention which includes the VM display name as well as the OS hostname (FQDN), it is generally not too difficult to identify the actual VM that is running your vCenter Server.
