  • 1.  Monitoring ILMT Health using script

    Posted Mon January 03, 2022 01:30 PM

    Hi!

    I looking for a way to monitor with scripts the info in the health panels and the "Pending confirmation" value of the Overview page in ILMT.

    Looking in the REST API methods I cannot find any that suits me, but maybe I am missing something.

    So far it looks like the easiest way is to read this info from the DB2 tables.

    E.g. to find the "Missing Scan" value I use "select count COMPUTER_ID from SAM.COMPUTER_HEALTH_STATUSES where not MISSING_SOFTWARE_SCAN = 0"

    But some of the values are hard to find out.

    One value I really want to find is the "Pending confirmation", which I want to alert people when not zero.

    Anyone out there who has something to share?

    Hi,

    The data can be retrieved only through REST API, not directly from the database.

    For 'Pending Confirmation' you might want to check 'Retrieval of software products':

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=v2-retrieval-software-inventory

    ie. isConfirmed column should help in your specific case.

    As for Computer status health, check:

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=associations-computer-health-status-association

    Thanks.

    Thanks!

    This is what I am looking for.

    Missed the 'associations' section.

    Hi,

    this works well, but I cannot find the columns for three values in the Software Scan Health section, "Failed Scan", "Scan Not Uploaded" and "Unscanned Shared Disc". The one for missing scan is working.
