Enhancement suggestion: Filter showing VMs that don't have the agent installed
-
A filter that only lists VMs that need the agent installed would be very helpful. Here are a few thoughts.
-
The "has agent" mark should persist after VM shutdown. Can we use tags, or should we look for an alternative?
-
VMs that have the agent running should be marked as having the agent. Can we update the agent so that it add the tag itself at startup?
-
XO should remove the marker from any VMs that have been running for more than 5 minutes and do not have the agent running.
With this setup, it is easy to determine which VMs need the agent, including VMs that are shut down at the moment.

Question for @julien-f I suppose
-
@Davidj-0 You can list VMs without a management agent with the following filter:
power_state:running !managementAgentDetected?.XO does not support this for halted VMs but that could be added indeed.

Is there any way to save filters so they can be used again later, besides in a notes app?

@DustinB
Use the save function

Yes you can save it and make it even default for your current user

Can you change the title of my thread to "Enhancement suggestion: Update 'ManagementAgentDetected?' to support halted VMs" ?
