HP Config Collector and XML files (HPCC)

[Rob Leadbeater]

Hi,

Most of the useful tools to analyse the XML files are internal HP tools, and not publically available.

Navigator is one, which is very useful, as it also allows analysis of controller event logs etc. however you're unlikely to find a copy for download anywhere :-(

Cheers,

Rob

superb xml style sheet, is just so useful for a beginner in EVA like myself.

can someone clarify the collection for decimals?

for example in the output xml from HPCC, I see the following:
"16491.94"

however with the xslt provided in this thread, usedstoragespace is reported as
"usedstoragespace 24095621120"

I tried to play around with the style sheet but nothing seems to work.

Roy/Albatross any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I think the xsl is just providing an overview. The field, 'usedstoragespace' appears more than once in the report. So what's happening is that only one occurrence of 'usedstoragespace' is getting displayed according to the hiearchy I designated as an 'overview'.

I hope that makes sense. :-) At least I believe that's what is occurring. I did that stylesheet last year. Can you upload your report?

Hello Rob, you might find someone from your local HP Team who will run the XML files through SANXpert. Sometimes if you have 24hour support, the people who look after that support will do that for you. There are two no tools to look at. SAN Designer and SAN Visibility, here is the URL...

Hi all,

Thanks for your reply on this but I cant share the xml, company policy :(

I managed to extract the data I require but for the nested loops, something is wrong. My "hostname","lunnumber" and "hostosmode_0" are going to the next line when printed. I do not want this and want to have a single row starting with the vdisk name.

Any ideas?

You just need to remove the tags in the second xsl:for-each loop.

Hi,

Yes that works but it doesn't give me the formatting I need.

After some research (I sux big time in programming stuff), managed to get what I need with the following :)

May not be optimal but its works for me :P

Thanks for all who replied.
