Changing this setting helped me to a great extent. Your post is the closest I've come to extracting all incidents of when a virtual machine has been cloned and all the clone names.
In the Description column of the Events tab for a virtual machine, you can see events for "being cloned to (vmname) on (hostname)". I am trying to extract that historical information from the vcenter database but the Description field is not in the vxp_event table.
Any idea what the underlying sql query is to retrieve this information?
Thanks and Regards,
