This article explains how to collect VMware vCenter inventory and usage data for AWS Migration Evaluator assessments without using traditional collection tools. Key points include:

  • A PowerShell script can collect historical VMware infrastructure data
  • Script collects VM provisioning details and utilization metrics over 1-365 days
  • Generates an Excel file compatible with Migration Evaluator requirements
  • Supports filtering powered-on VMs or collecting data for all VMs
  • Provides options to customize data collection, including protocol, port, and logging
