Export the First Discovery Date of the devices from Smarts or W4N

Is there a way of exporting the devices list along with the "First Discovery Date" or the Creation Time from Smarts or W4N.  What are the options we have to get this information.

Thank you.

Hi 123blackjack,

The attached asl code will export this information from Smarts IP to a text file.

Please save this asl file in the bin directory of your Smarts IP installation (default location: /opt/InCharge/IP/smarts/bin/) and run using the following command (from the same directory):

./sm_adapter -s INCHARGE-AM-PM ./get-device-list.asl > list.txt

A file called list.txt will be created with the relevant information.


Thanks,

Kind Regards,

Paul O'Rourke

Hi Paul,

I'm new to EMC SMARTS and I might be asking silly question.

I just wanted to know where are the data stored for all this information (devices)?

Are they stored on the same MySQL database like smarts, topology, scom, etc?

Or there is another one?  Thanks.

Regards,

Dante

Hi DanteR,

For Smarts Products, all topology information, relationships, attribute values and events are stored in the repository file (.rps file) which is a proprietary database. The repository file is located at:

/smarts/local/repos/icf/

You can use the Domain Manager console to access this repository or by using DMCTL commands.

If you are unfamiliar with dmctl, please see KB article here:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.


Kind Regards,

Paul O'Rourke
