Issue/Introduction

is there a way to list all devices assigned to a Data Collector in Performance Management?

Environment

DX NetOps : all supported versions

Resolution

you can accomplish this task using REST on the Data Aggregator (DA)

to do it with Curl (Command line URL) syntax:

get the DC ID number from the portal:

..

..

..

Create file /tmp/dc.xml with following syntax

 

<FilterSelect xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="filter.xsd">

<Filter>

<Item.MDRItemID type="EQUAL">6916</Item.MDRItemID>

</Filter>

<Select use="exclude" isa="exclude">

<Item use="exclude">

<Name use="include" />

</Item>

<Device use="exclude">

<Latitude use="include" />

<LocationDesc use="include" />

<Longitude use="include" />

<HostName use="include" />

<PrimaryIPAddress use="include" />

<ContactStatus use="include" />

<DiscProfileID use="include" />

</Device>

<Lifecycle use="include">

</Lifecycle>

</Select>

</FilterSelect>

 

To run it:

curl -kv -u admin -s -X POST -d @/tmp/dc.xml http://DAHOST:8581/rest/devices/filtered --header "Content-Type: application/xml" |  xmllint --format -

curl -kv -u admin -s -X POST -d @/tmp/dc.xml https://DAHOST:8582/rest/devices/filtered --header "Content-Type: application/xml" |  xmllint --format -

 

Can push to file using

> /tmp/output.xml

 

you can do this in a REST client by sending a POST using the URL above and the body above.
