  • 1.  Number of deployed probes/robots in dashboard

    Posted Feb 23, 2011 10:42 PM

    I need to be able to display this information in my UMP dashboard.  I'm guessing it should be possible to query the NimsoftSLM database with the jdbc probe, but is there a more elegant way to get this information?

    I've not found an easier way to do this outside of a simple query against the CM_NIMBUS_PROBE and CM_NIMBUS_ROBOT tables. In the past I simply do a "select count(*)" against those two.

    Dave,

    is there a way to verify that this info is correct using the Infra manager?

    I'm not sure about in the manager directly but you can use the Dr. Nimbus tool found in the "Tools" section of the Nimsoft Monitoring start menu folder, or within the bin directory.  From there you can run an inventory on your enviornment, showing which probes have been deployed and the count.

     

    For base robot count if you select a HUB within the manager view there is a total number of servers listed on the bottom right.  You can add up the count between each HUB.

    If you don't want to pull this from the backend - this would be a very easy method to use - then you could write a Lua script that does this, I think the two calls you'd leverage are getrobots on the Hub side to get a count on the robots and probe_list on the robot side to get a count of the probes.

     

    I can see the benefit of having a list of robots, but what's the benefit of listing out the probes? Probe count doesn't equate to load since that all comes down to the number of metrics you're collecting along with the frequency you're polling them - just curious.

    Here is a simple LUA script that can be ran from the NAS that will poll each hub and pull the total number of robots and probes deployed. This will create a file called nimsoft_count.txt in the Nimsoft\probes\nas directory. This is just some base code that can be modified to fit your needs.

     

     

    file = io.open("nimsoft_count.txt", "w")
    
    robots = 0
    probeTotal = 0 
    
    
    resp,rc = nimbus.request("hub", "gethubs")
    for h,hinfo in pairs(resp.hublist) do
       local args = pds.create()
       pds.putInt(args, "detail", 1)
       sessionhandle = nimbus.session_open(hinfo.addr)
       if sessionhandle ~= nil then
          local r_resp,rc = nimbus.session_request(sessionhandle, "getrobots", args, 300)
          if rc == 0 then
             for r,rinfo in pairs(r_resp.robotlist) do
                if rinfo.probelist ~= nil then
                   probes = 0
                   for p,pinfo in pairs (rinfo.probelist) do
                      probes = probes + 1
                      probeTotal = probeTotal + 1
                   end
                  -- print("Number of probes on " .. rinfo.name .. " is: " .. probes)
                end
                robots = robots + 1
             end
    
          end
       end
       nimbus.session_close(sessionhandle)
    end
    
    file:write ("Total robots: " .. robots .. "\n")
    print ("Total robots: " .. robots .. "\n")
    print ("Total probes: " .. probeTotal .. "\n")
    file:write ("Total probes: " .. probeTotal .. "\n")

    Hi ,

    So is there a table that would map probes against the CI , or list of all the probes on a server ?

    Unfortunately there is no mapping possible in between configuration item and source probe.
    for example, configuration item : CPU of device 01 - has mapping with metrics (such as usage), however, there is not possible to reverse which probe is mapped to the configuration item.
