  • 1.  count of servers metric

    Posted Mar 01, 2017 10:44 AM

    I'm trying to get a current count of hosts (servers, hostnames) that agents are currently reporting from.  We have a count of agents and we can see the hostname, but since multiple agents can report from the same host, where or how can I get a count of the hosts?  Is there existing javascript that can provide that or another existing metric?  Or would I need to run a smarttools command and then parse the results.  I'm looking for a live metric for the count.  Further, I would like a count as well as a list of the hostnames of both active and inactive (unmounted) hosts (servers, hostnames).  #apm-scripts #metrics #introscope

    To get a count of agents,  you can use this supportability metric

     

    *SuperDomain*|Custom Metric Host (Virtual)|Custom Metric Process (Virtual)|Custom Metric Agent (Virtual)|Enterprise Manager|Connections|Number Of Agents

     

    If you have a cluster, each collector will report that value so you could either report individual agent load per collector or make a sum of values using JavaScript calculator

     

    If you want more details about the agents, like the names, you would need to use something like CLW:

    Thanks, yes, we have a count of the agents.  I need a count of the servers that have agents reporting.

       I was told that clw list agents may be able to do this . Else, I am not sure how it can be done

    Thanks

    Thanks for the quick replies and suggestions.  So, it sounds like there is not a metric for this count presently, but that with CLW, I will be able to gather the information for the active and unmounted agents and then just have to parse the results to get the specific information that I need regarding the hosts.

    Greg:

    That is correct . See https://communities.ca.com/thread/241700103


    What will be  returned [host]|[appserver]|[agent];

     

    Please feel free to ask additional questions as needed.

     

    Thanks
