Issue/Introduction

I need to pull the list of devices that use SNMP in CA Performance Management. How could I accomplish this?

Create list of SNMP Polled devices with Item ID values from the DX NetOps Performance Management Data Aggregator.

Environment

All supported DX NetOps Performance Management releases

Resolution

To obtain a list of all SNMP polled or Manageable devices you would need to utilize Data Aggregator REST web services.

This is a REST POST, so it requires a rest client, and cannot be done in a browser.

The endpoint <scheme>://<DA_HostName>:<Port>/rest/devices/manageable will contain only SNMP polled devices.

The following is an example of a filtered call to get the Item ID, Name and IP Address for all SNMP Polled devices.

• URL: daHostname:8581/rest/devices/manageable/filtered
• Method: POST
• Headers: Content-Type:application/xml
• Authorization Header: Set an Administrative role enabled user and it's password. Easy option is the default OOTB admin user and it's password.
• Body:
  
  <FilterSelect xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="filter.xsd">
  <Select use="exclude" isa="exclude">
  <Item use="exclude">
  <Name use="include"/>
  </Item>
  <Device use="exclude">
  <PrimaryIPAddress use="include"/>
  </Device>
  </Select>
  </FilterSelect>

Additional Information

If you would prefer to use a command line and not a REST client, then you can use this cURL syntax:

This will also format the output.

if you are using http:

curl -kv -u admin -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/xml' -d '<FilterSelect xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="filter.xsd"><Select use="exclude" isa="exclude"><Item use="exclude"><Name use="include"/></Item><Device use="exclude"><PrimaryIPAddress use="include"/></Device></Select></FilterSelect>' http://YOUR-DA:8581/rest/devices/manageable/filtered | xmllint --format - | grep "<ID>" | sed -e 's/<ID>//g' -e 's/<\/ID>//g' -e 's/\\s\+//g' -e 's/^[ \t]*//' >/tmp/devices.txt

if you are using https:

curl -kv -u admin -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/xml' -d '<FilterSelect xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="filter.xsd"><Select use="exclude" isa="exclude"><Item use="exclude"><Name use="include"/></Item><Device use="exclude"><PrimaryIPAddress use="include"/></Device></Select></FilterSelect>' https://YOUR-DA:8582/rest/devices/manageable/filtered | xmllint --format - | grep "<ID>" | sed -e 's/<ID>//g' -e 's/<\/ID>//g' -e 's/\\s\+//g' -e 's/^[ \t]*//' >/tmp/devices.txt

 

Please note in the example, I used the local admin account, you can use your own account as long as it has admin rights to console.
