This will provide a CSV file to be imported in Azure Migrate manual discovery section. VMs names will be replaced by their UUID to anonymize the content of the exported file.

Filter off VMs

rvtools2azmigrate convert -i rvtools.xlsx -o azuremigrate.csv --filter-off-vms

This will provide a CSV file to be imported in Azure Migrate manual discovery section. Powered-Off VMs will not be exported to the CSV file.

Filter out VMs based on naming

It is possible to specify a list of patterns to filter out VMs based on their name.

rvtools2azmigrate convert -i rvtools.xlsx -o azuremigrate.csv \
  --filter-out pattern1 \
  --filter-out pattern2 \
  --filter-out pattern3

This will provide a CSV file to be imported in Azure Migrate manual discovery section. VMs with one of the pattern in their name will be filtered out and not part of the exported file.
