Description

Hi,

is there a method to access the complete task history? I've only seen the recentTask-Property on TaskManager and ManagedEntity which doesn't cover completed tasks that are older than 10 minutes.

All the best, retooth

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the vSphere API's TaskManager and ManagedEntity to find methods for retrieving historical tasks beyond the recentTask property. Look into using TaskFilterSpec and TaskHistoryCollector to query completed tasks by time range.
