Extract text from HealthAnalyzer exports and animations (VHA)
To convert VHA files to another format, you need vSphere Health Analyzer or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Diagnostic Report or Game Asset" file type, you need software like vSphere Health Analyzer or a similar tool.
A .VHA file typically functions as a vSphere Health Analyzer export created by VMware. This file stores diagnostic data collected from virtual infrastructures, which is then analyzed to generate health check reports. Alternatively, in the gaming domain, a .VHA file is a proprietary character animation file used by Relic Entertainment for the game Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War.
Opening these files requires highly specialized software. For IT administrators, the VMware vSphere Health Analyzer is necessary to parse the Java-based internal format. Gamers and modders must rely on Relic Viewer or dedicated modding community tools to view the 3D animations.
Users often attempt to convert VMware .VHA files to readable formats like PDF, CSV, or XML to share audit results with stakeholders. Modders want to convert gaming .VHA files to standard 3D animation formats like FBX or OBJ for use in Blender or Autodesk Maya.
The reality is that the .VHA format is heavily restricted. The VMware variant is a closed, Java-serialized data dump, while the game variant is a compiled 3D asset. Because this is a proprietary format, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Standard online converters fail because they lack the specific parsing logic for these niche files.
Despite these limitations, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as plain text logs inside the VMware export or recognizable asset headers in the game file - viewing or extraction may still be possible. Drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported.
Convert.Guru analyzes your VHA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted VIB, XSR and LL files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our VHA converter.
