Ok that is cool.   I also tried the -Overwrite y command and that worked.   Now i am just trying to figure out how i can run this thing once a day but not keep getting that same old data.

There is a -date (start_date end_date) argument but to use it i would have to keep adjusting the script daily...

Nice, I didn't know that one

Ok that worked:)  I dont use CLI  often so i dont know what all those keys do.   looks like that > is what i need.

Thanks again guys

What dynamox meant was use an output modifier in your cli arguement.

if you use 'naviseccli -h SPA getlog -h -em > c:\event.txt' this will send the output to a text file and not display it in the cli window.

Thats what i am trying to see if anyone knows.   I know for retrieving analyzer files, they have a -file & -location parameter but i cant get those to work with the getlog command.

use >> if you need to append to an existing file.

That argument is not in the CLI guide but when i do a getlog ?, it shows up and works.  i was testing it by grabing a few dates at a time. 

As for installing perl, the box it would need to be installed on also hosts SMC, SPA and the rest of our SAN managment software.  So i am not sure if all that stuff works well together.  

Plus the customer is looking for something that will give them events close to realtime and i dont think this way will work.   They dont have ECC.

Kenn,

i just checked navicli guide and did not see that argument for getlog.  Can you install perl on this box ..i can help you write something in perl ?

i have perl installed on boxes running ECC, SMC., SPA ..all get alone. If you need real time i guess you can configure emal alerts on the array itself ?
