Title
Selecting or extracting connection tag data -
Description
In Spotlight Enterprise, is there a way to select or extract connection tag data? Is the tag data stored on the database? -
Resolution
The tag data is located on the Diagnostic Server (DS) in XML files at the following location:
C:\Program Files\Dell\Diagnostic Server\Agent\conf\Monitored_Entity
or
C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Diagnostic Server\Agent\conf\Monitored_Entity
WORKAROUND 1
Use a PowerShell script to select the tag data from individual XML files:
select-xml -path C:\Program Files\Dell\Diagnostic Server\Agent\conf\Monitored_Entity\.xml -xpath "//tag" | Select-Object –ExpandProperty “node"
WORKAROUND 2
The Spotlight development team has created a small tool to extract the tag data into a .csv file. Please contact the Quest Technical Support through this link for more information on this tool.
