Extracting CDM probe and filesystem configurations: DX UIM

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

Users often need to extract current CDM probe thresholds and filesystem configurations across all servers in a DX UIM environment for auditing or inventory purposes. This can be accomplished using the built-in report utility or the Operator Console.

Environment

• Product: DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)
• Versions:  23.4 and higher
• Component: CDM Probe, Infrastructure Manager (IM), Operator Console (OC)

Resolution

To extract probe configurations including filesystems and thresholds, use one of the following methods:

Method 1: Probe Configurations Report (Infrastructure Manager)

1. Access the Primary Hub server.
2. Navigate to the bin directory: ...\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin.
3. Run the executable probereport.exe.
4. In the utility, select Probe Configurations report.
5. Select the relevant Hubs and the cdm probe.
6. Run the report. The output displays multiple columns of data which can be printed or exported.

Method 2: Monitoring Governance Report (Operator Console)

Note: This requires DX UIM 23.4 CU3 or higher.

1. Log in to the Operator Console.
2. Navigate to Groups > Monitoring Governance.
3. Filter the report for the cdm probe.
4. Use the Edit columns option to display baselines and thresholds side-by-side (available in CU6 and later).

Method 3: SQL Query (Manual Audit)

⚠️ Review this command with your DBA or administrator before running it.

For a quick list of targets from the database, use the following query against the UIM database:

sql

SELECT DISTINCT robot, host, source AS "Server_Name", target AS "Filesystem_Or_Disk" FROM s_qos_data WHERE probe = 'cdm' AND qos IN ('QOS_DISK_USAGE', 'QOS_DISK_USAGE_PERC') ORDER BY source, target;
