# vMotions History

This report shows the history of VM migrations across a time range.

## Example Output

In this example, the report allows you to detect virtual machines whose disk files were relocated to and from the selected cluster during this month.

To run this report:

1. From the **From** list, select *This month* > *First day*. From the **To** list, select *Today*.
2. In the **Scope** section, include the necessary cluster in the report.
3. From the **Scope Defines** list, select *Host*.
4. From the **Group by** list, select *VMware Virtual Machine*.
5. Click **Run** to view the report.

The output will show each VM that was present in this cluster during the reporting period.

For every VM, the report chart and report table will display exact VM migration date and time.

It can be seen from the output that the *SQL2008r2* VM resided on one host since 21.03., but then migrated to another on 09.04.

If the **Group By** parameter is chosen as *Host*, there will be one chart per host and the chart will show all VMs present on each host during the reporting interval.
