Avamar grid uptime in DPA?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to determine the uptime of an Avamar grid.  It could be a % or a window or a time since last reboot, or really anything like that.  Does anyone know if this is possible?

Currently DPA does not collect that data. You could create a customer report using the ReadCSVFile data source operator. If you can have the uptime from Avamar colllcted into a CSV file then DPA can read that and report on it.

Read CSV File

Name

Read CSV File

Description

Reads data from a comma separated values file, and turns it into a data set

Parameters

Cast St ring - For each column in the file, specify the Cast of the column, one of Bool, Int, Float, String, Flag, Integer value, Decimal value, Text, Date, Duration, Percentage, Money, Time, Timestamp, or Long with each column separated by commas (,)

Field String - For each column in the file, specify the name of the column, with each column separated by commas (,)

Filename - Name of the file from which to read the data. The filename may also be a valid URL, for example, http://webserver.com/reports/status1.csv

Key String - True/False. For each column in the file, specify whether this column is a key field. For example, if you have defined five columns then you will need five entries to identify the key fields (such as, True, True, False, False, False). Each column should be separated by commas (,)

Separator - Separator used in the file between columns, defaults to comma (,)

Special Variables in Filenames

The Filename parameter can contain a @nodename@ variable which is substituted at run-time with the name of the node(s) against which the report is run.

For example, set a ReadCSV source to read from "C:\JobsOf_@nodename@.csv". When this report is run on a node called ‘danube’, the ReadCSV source looks for a file called "C:\JobsOf_danube.csv".

If you run the report over 2 or more nodes, a csv file read attempt is made for every node. The returned data set is a union of all results, with an Object field added which depicts the node name.

Returns

A data set with a field for each column in the file
