  • 1.  Running Probe Report utility from command line

    Posted Oct 24, 2017 03:07 AM

    Hello, 

    I'm trying to find a way to get the monitoring profile for a server.

    for example, what processes are monitored, what disks are monitored and the thresholds... 

     

    There is a utility (in nimsoft/bin) calls Probe Report that can create these kind of reports, but i can't find a way to run it automatically from command line.

    Is that possible in any way ? 

     

    Can i get the threshold in another way ? from the database ? 

     

    Thanks,

    Amit.

    Hello.

    ProbeReport utility can only be run in GUI mode.

     

    I recommend that you take a look at this. This is an excellent tool.

    On top of that, if you're exclusively using MCS, you could find those information doing some SQL magic!

    Hello, 

     

    Probe of things is excellent, but i'm trying to find a way to get the threshold of a server from third party system.

    The probe of things is storing the data on it's own database and it's not easily  accessible.

     

    Also, I don't use the MCS so this is also not an option.

     

    Isn't there an easy way to get the info using lua ? 

    The probe report has all the data i need but i cannot run it and export the data automatically.... 

     

    Thanks.

    Amit.

    Here is a LUA script that was the foundation for the probe of things data gathering. 


    https://github.com/BryanKMorrow/uim/blob/master/lua/audit.lua


    This stores the information in a SQLite database in the nas folder, but you could easily modify it to print to a CSV or something.

    Hello Bryan, 

    Thank you very much !!

     

    Please correct me if i'm wrong, the script suppose to create a new table (probe_audit) in the NIS DB, which is the SQL CA_UIM.... 

     

    The script is running, but i cannot find the table there... 

    Thanks,

    Amit.

    Hi Bryan,

     

    Got it to work. 

    Had to add [] to the 'key' value it the create and insert command (key -> [key])

     

    Very useful script. 

    Thanks,

    Amit.
