Client uptime
Hello,
I am trying to build a chart that tracks clients' uptime. I know this is tracked in the monitoring infrastructure area, but is there any way to put this information into a chart? I haven't been able to find an appropriate measure.
Thank you,
Erik
Hi. Could you elaborate more on what you exactly mean with "Client Uptime"? Do you mean the time a machine/host is up and running?
Yes. That is exactly what I mean. Here is a screenshot of the detail I would like to be able to include in a chart.
This value is currently not available as a regular measure. It gets "calculated" based on the information we also see in the Agent Overview by looking at the Start Time of the Agent. The only "workaround" to get this value as a measure would be to create a Monitor that queries the Agent Overview Information. There is also a REST Interface on the dynaTrace Server that returns the list of connected Agent. Check out Agents and Collectors (REST) - there is a call like this: HTTP GET http://localhost:8020/rest/management/agents
You could now either create your own Monitor or use for instance the
Generic Execution Plugin to call a script that makes that REST call. If that script returns the uptime as a value the Generic Execution Plugin could return that as a Measure that you can then put on a chart.
Not sure if this is exactly what you want and need - it for sure takes some effort to get what you want - but - its worth a try.
