RVTools is a Windows .NET 4.6.1 application which uses VMware vSphere Management SDK 7.0U3 and CIS REST API to display information about your virtual environments.

Version 4.3.1 (February 5, 2022)

• Upgraded RVTools solution to use VMware vSphere Management SDK 7.0U3
• New tab page: The “vSource” tab page displays information about the server where the SDK web service is running, which is used by RVTools to gather all data. This is your vCenter server or ESX host.
• On vHost tab page new column: Host UUID.
• Health properties: New checkbox to enable or disable security health messages.
• On all related VM tab pages the column UUID was filled with the SMBIOS UUID value which is not unique. Now the column is filled with the unique VirtualCenter-specific 128-bit UUID value.
• The performance specialist Henk van der Valk (Henk@fulldata.nl) gave me two performance tips for VMs that could be incorporated into RVTools. 
• On vHealth tab page: new disk I/O and in-memory performance tips.
• Health properties: New checkbox to enable or disable performance tips health messages.
• Bug fix: on vInfo tab page the value of Video RAM was not visible.
• Bug fix: RVToolsMergeExcelFiles when one of the xlsx files contains no VMs an extra header row was added in the merged xlsx.
