Quick Tip - Resizing vSphere with Tanzu Supervisor Control Plane VMs

08.10.2021 by William Lam // 1 Comment

During the enablement of vSphere with Tanzu, users can specify the size (Tiny, Small, Medium and Large) which will then dictate the amount of CPU and Memory that is allocated for the Supervisor Control Plane VMs.


After vSphere with Tanzu has been successfully enabled, you will find that only a subset of the settings can be re-configured but the Size is not one of those settings.


There was a question recently asking if you could resize the resources for the Supervisor Control Plane VMs? Although the vSphere UI does not allow you to modify the Control Plane Size value, the vSphere with Tanzu REST API can be used to perform this operation.

Tech Preview of Horizon Provider for VMware Event Broker Appliance (VEBA)

08.09.2021 by William Lam // Leave a Comment

Last week, Michael Gasch and I had the pleasure of presenting the VMware Event Broker Appliance (VEBA) solution to the Omaha VMUG community. The session was an introduction to VEBA, but we also covered some brand new topics including writing your own functions for VEBA and a quick look at the evolution of VEBA.

Note: For those interested, the recording for the Omaha VMUG session can be accessed here with following password: MYN%0k9

One of the topics that I was really looking forward to sharing with the VMUG audience was a sneak peak at our upcoming v0.7 release which will include two new Event Providers: Webhook and VMware Horizon!

Here we go🤩 The evolution continuous! Project @VMWEventBroker is approaching v0.7 and awesome news were exclusively introduced to @OmahaVMUG today. @lamw & @embano1 unveiled the support for Generic Webhook AND @vmwarehorizon providers🥳 #eventdriven #automation #VMware #VEBA4H pic.twitter.com/wa27st4QoQ

About a month back, I had teased some upcoming collaboration with Chris Halstead, famous for his VMware Horizon Flings and there was some good speculation and hope that this would mean VMware Horizon support for VEBA.

Please let it be VEBA extensions for @vmwarehorizon.. 🙏🏻

I am excited to share that we have been working on a new VMware Horizon Event Provider for VEBA and this will allow users to easily build and consume event-driven automation reacting to a number of VMware Horizon events! In fact, this was only made possible with the new Horizon Audit Events API that was recently introduced in the latest Horizon 2106 release which now has over 850 different events!

We are really excited to see what our users will do with this new functionality and if you are interested in trying out the Tech Preview of the VMware Horizon Provider for VEBA simply join the VEBA Slack Channel and you will be able to download the latest OVA appliance.

Listing all VMware Horizon Events

08.06.2021 by William Lam // Leave a Comment

One very useful feature in the latest VMware Horizon (2106) release is the introduction of a new Audit Events API, that will finally allow users to retrieve all Horizon events in a programmatic manner. Previously, the only method of extracting the Horizon events was to unfortunately query the SQL Server database directly.

Since VMware Horizon is not a solution I normally work with, I was actually curious on how many events are produced by Horizon? Back in 2019, I shared how to retrieve and list all vCenter Server Events and ended up publishing a Github repo that folks can quickly view and search for a specific event, which is especially useful if you are using the VMware Event Broker Appliance (VEBA) solution.

After speaking with Chris Halstead, one of the most knowledgable person on VMware Horizon that I know, a list of all known Horizon events has never been published.
