vmprofessional.com releases snapalert.pl

Snapshots are extremely useful to Virtual Machines, but keeping track of which VMs have snapshots can be problematic and/or time consuming. Snapshots that grow too large often degrade the I/O performance of the VM, lead to unbounded growth on the VMFS filesystem and can be difficult to commit when you decide you no longer need them. snapalert.pl is a perl script written to identify which VMs in your environment currently have snapshots so you can take appropriate action, it works with both ESX and ESXi as there is no console component. Additionally it can be configured to send the report to you via email so you won't have to remember to run it if you schedule the job.

Get the script and the details here.
