Is there a Report or Alert available that show failed Discovery Objects

Thanks Norton – Is there an opportunity to modify the report “Devices Not Collected for More than 2 Hours” to reflect last 1 day not discovered objects. Of course by creating a copy of this report and not modifying this report.

Because 2 hours seems to be on the lower side since there are Storage Arrays and other objects that may not complete the polling cycle every 2 hours or they may fail for one polling interval but could pickup eventually. Thanks

Most asset-level reports (e.g. Explore -> Storage -> Storage Systems and Report Library -> Physical Host) show the Time Since Last Discovered.  You can sort by that to see objects that haven't been discovered recently.  There's also a report in Health -> Miscellaneous -> Devices Not Collected for More than 2 Hours. 

We're also in the process of adding collection alerts to many of the SolutionPacks.

Hi - that was a good article, while i try to run the command I receive the error mentioned in the screenshot. Can you please help.

It works with ruby 2.0 & higher. I bet you are using 1.8 or 1.9.

If you don't want to bother with installing a newer version of ruby you can use http://jruby.org/ it also works well with the SRM JVM.

Let me know.

You were correct it was 1.8 version, i tried the jruby and now it gives me a different error:

There is an alert in Alerting Called "Metric count alert" With Description of "If a collector stops producing metric, this can indicate a collection problem."

This is so misleading because only the SNMP-Collector and Health-Collector report the RawValueCount metric correctly. Also that metric is completely undocumented.

Is there a plan to have other collectors report the RawValueCount metric ? Is this a configuration I am missing?

If all collectors implemented the RawValueCount then this alarm would actually do what it says, and we would be able to investigate any sudden reductions in RawValueCount.

This is an error with the jruby.sh script.

Try to quote the path instead of EMC\ SRM.

If you want to use a single jar you can run : java -jar jruby.jar ~/dev/mnrdiscovery/mnrdiscovery.rb

PS: don't forget to install the dependency nokogiri with gem install nokogiri

HTH

Hi - I get a different error when try to use jruby.jar also was unable to find "nokogiri" under yum packages list:

Here is the steps you can use :

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/jruby.org/downloads/9.0.5.0/jruby-complete-9.0.5.0.jar
/opt/APG/Java/Sun-JRE/8.0.72/bin/java -jar jruby-complete-9.0.5.0.jar -S gem install nokogiri  -i ./gems --no-rdoc --no-ri
GEM_PATH=./gems /opt/APG/Java/Sun-JRE/8.0.72/bin/java -jar jruby-complete-9.0.5.0.jar mnrdiscovery.rb

I think I will dockerize that ;-)

Finally I was able to get the Ruby V2.3 able to work on my Linux host, thank you so much.

HI Mahesh1111.. , I tried your ruby script and I had some syntax errors . Have u a new version ?

Thanks in advance

Can you tell me what are the syntax errors you see?

HI, Mahesh , I’m trying to run mnrdiscovery script and I have some error . After I read and I see that I need a new version of ruby. I have 1.8. I will install version 2.3 and try again

I will let you know

Thanks in advance

Is there a Report or Alert available that show failed Discovery Objects

Hello and hope you'e doing well - your Ruby script was super helpful to identify the lit of failed discovery objects. I hoped EMC would provide a report directly in the console that reports the failed object. We recently upgraded to 4.1.1 but didn't see that feature.

Our Ruby script is failing since the upgrade - is there a newer version of the script available now or have you tested with this new version, below is the error I get:

/usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/local/scripts/mnrdiscovery.rb -h -u rubyuser -p

/usr/local/scripts/mnrdiscovery.rb:352:in `block in type_details': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

        from /usr/local/scripts/mnrdiscovery.rb:350:in `each'

        from /usr/local/scripts/mnrdiscovery.rb:350:in `type_details'

        from /usr/local/scripts/mnrdiscovery.rb:345:in `start'

        from /usr/local/scripts/mnrdiscovery.rb:378:in `

Your help is appreciated.
