Description

Hi all,

Although I can pull the vm uptime from the "summary.quickStats.uptimeSeconds", but the value is obscured by the fact of vmotioned.

Within Powershell I could use lastbootuptime, but I cannot find a similar function within this. Is there such a function or is it something which we could potentially add?

Start by investigating the reported summary.quickStats.uptimeSeconds behavior and how vMotion affects that value, then compare it with the PowerShell lastbootuptime reference. Done means determining whether an equivalent API value exists or defining the scope for adding one.
