3PAR System Reporter User’s Guide

System Reporter 2.8

NOTE: In the above example and elsewhere in this chapter, the following typographical conventions are used:

■variables are denoted by angle brackets (for example, <server_name>)

■braces denote optional items (for example [&<option>])

■ellipses denote that the preceding component may be repeated (for example [&<option>...]).

The following example shows a query for Web server named localhost:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/3par-rpts/

inserv_perf.exe?report=pd_space_time&charttab=table&category=hires

This query requests

■a report showing physical disk space usage over time (pd_space_time).

■results posted in the form of a table (charttab=table).

■results pulled from the high-resolution database table (category=hires).

Because a specific time range is not specified, the query will default to all times present in the specified database table (hires).

NOTE: To learn more about Web queries, you can perform any System Reporter Web query by using a browser (see Chapter 4, Getting Started) and then selecting the New window option and then clicking Submit Query to open the report in a new window. In the new window, the address bar displays the Web query that you created using the browser interface.

8.2 Data Format Version Report

If the data returned by web queries is going to be processed, it is important to check that the format of the data is what is expected by the scripts or code processing it. To determine if your processing code is compatible with the server, issue the following query:

http://<server_name>/cgi-bin/3par-rpts/inserv_perf.exe?report=version
