UIM - Probe Configuration Report

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

Need help to get a report that can list details of the settings for the cdm probe for all the hosts. 

How can I generate a report of all probe configurations? 

Environment

• Release: UIM 9.x, 20.x.x
• Component: UIM - Infrastructure Manager

Resolution

By default, each hub provides a 'Probe Configurations report.exe' in the bin directory:

...\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin

 

Choose the 'Probe Configurations report' and click the button to run it

.

 

 

Additional Information

This out of the box IM Report is limited for CDM, NTEVL,NTSERVICES, PROCESSES probes. 

Other than this out-of-the-box report you can check the Broadcom community for field-developed/custom solutions.

and a script that can be run as well:

--The following script will save each probes configuration by section->key->value into the Nimsoft database and the table probe_audit. If you have a small environment, this can be run from the 
-- NAS. If not, you will need to uncomment the nimbus.login and run it from the NSA.
-- Nimsoft Environment Audit

-- Login so that I can run this from the command line
-- Comment out if running from NAS
-- nimbus.login("administrator","nimsoft")

-- Initialize the SQLite database
--database.open("NimsoftEnviromentAudit.db")

-- Initialize the NIS database
database.open("provider=nis;database=nis;driver=none")

-- Drop the table
query = "DROP TABLE probe_audit"
printf("DB QUERY -> %s",query)
database.query(query)
-- And re-create it so that it's empty
query = "CREATE TABLE probe_audit (id integer primary key, hub varchar(255), robot varchar(255), ip varchar(255), probe varchar(255), section varchar(255), key varchar(255), value text);"
printf("DB QUERY -> %s",query)
database.query(query)

-- Populate the audit table with probe configuration information

-- Start by getting a list of the hubs
printf("NIM REQUEST -> %s %s","hub","gethubs")
local gethubs = nimbus.request("hub","gethubs")
if gethubs ~= nil then
     for i,hub in pairs(gethubs.hublist) do

          -- Get a list of robots from each hub
          --printf("NIM REQUEST -> %s %s",hub.addr,"getrobots")
          local getrobots = nimbus.request(hub.addr,"getrobots")
          if getrobots ~= nil then
               for j,robot in pairs(getrobots.robotlist) do

                    -- Get some information from each robot
                    --printf("NIM REQUEST -> %s %s",robot.addr.."/controller","probe_list")

                                        end
                                   end
                              end

                  -- Commit our changes to the DB after each probe
