Hello,
I searched a long time on Internet/ in VMware documentation but unfortunately without result. That's why I hope to find support on this forum.
I linked a vCloud Director cell on a RabbitMQ solution in order to receive notifications when an action is done in the vCloud Director environment.
Everything is running well and I receive a message in the queue when a user makes a change on a VM configuration.

Now, I would like to know what is exactly the change (add memory, remove cpu or something else).
Via the API, I can retrieve the VM object and its complete configuration (example below)
But how to discover exactly the change(s) applied by the user?
My idea is to compare the VM object state before and after the user change.
example:
vm state before the change > 2x CPU, 4x GB of memory
vm state after the change > 2x VCPU, 2x GB of memory
Result: 2x GB of memory less
Comparison process could be difficult following the number of parameters composing a VM object.
How do you proceed from your side or what are your recommendations to know quickly the user change?
Thanks for your support and don't hesitate to ask your question to clarify my question.
Thanks a lot for your support.
