[omerusta37]

Hello there,

I want to know the Creation date of virtual machines. I need to list all virtual machines.

I tried it with pvesh commands, but it does not give the creation date.

How do I find out the creation date?

Hi,
you can look at the output of stat /etc/pve/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf, that should show you when the VM config was created.

Not sure if that is what you intended.

Edit: Also, this is included in the meta config property as ctime, so just dump the VM config qm config <VMID> will give you the config including the timestamp, which will survive eventual deletion/recreation of the config.
