RE: [NV-L] How to capture "down since" information

[Greg Keetch <gkeetch@ca.ibm.com>]

Hello,

ovtopodump -v is the correct place to find this information... While the SYMBOL CHANGE TIME will have information that can be useful, it is not what is indicated in the "(down since...)" part of the nmdemandpoll output. The date/time displayed there is found in the LAST SUCCESSFUL POLL line of the INTERFACE sections of the ovtopodump output. With nmdemandpoll, I believe this value is only displayed for interfaces with a STATUS of "Down" (also found in the ovtopodump output).

Hope this helps.

Ovtopodump -v will give you a detailed display where the SYMBOL CHANGE TIME will contain the information you want.  It will also tell you when the device came up or went marginal or was unmanaged.  There will also be a symbol change time for each interface so the Unix command to use for the whole time string on the device is: 

		 ovtopodump -v <hostname> | grep "SYMBOL CHANGE TIME" | awk 'NR==1' | cut -d":" -f2-

Subject: [NV-L] How to capture "down since" information

Hi List,

I generate a report of critical, unreachable and marginal nodes three times a day.

I would like to include the "down since" timestamp for each node. 

I know a quicktest will provide the "down since" timestamp, but I am assuming that information is in one of the databases already.

Does anyone know where that timestamp is, or how I could get that information for each node?

NV7.1.4, FP5 on AIX 5.2

Thanks
Randal Dold
