Cannot export more than 100 vCenter events using vSphere Client

Products

• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

• There is no option to export more than 100 events in a CSV file on vSphere Client
• The 100-event limit might give the impression that only today’s events can be found. It may seem that previous days' events are not available. 

Environment

vCenter Server 7.x
vCenter Server 8.x

Cause

Due to the product design, each export of events or tasks on vSphere Client is limited to 100.

Resolution

To export more events, please use PowerCLI Get-VIEvent cmdlet with Start and Finish, or MaxSamples parameters as mentioned in KB 328221. 

For more information on Get-VIEvent, please see Get-VIEvent in Developer Portal.
