Load EMC Avamar events
EMC Avamar Historic Data Collection uses JDBC as a read-only user to collect point-in-time data of backup events / activities from the Avamar Management Console Server (MCS) database within a given time frame.
It retrieves backup information from Avamar MCS database using the following views:
v_repl_activities - extracts record for each replication activity.
v_plugin_catalog - extracts record for each known plug-in.
v_activities_2 - extracts record for each backup, restore, or validation activity.
v_datasets - extracts record for each data set known to the MCS.
v_retention_policies - extracts record for each retention policy known to the MCS.
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Aptare\mbs\bin\avamar\avamarhistoricdetails.bat
Linux:
<APTARE HOME>/mbs/bin/avamar/avamarhistoricdetails.sh
To capture the data from a specific period, use the following utility:
avamarhistoricdetails.{sh|bat} <MetadataCollectorID> <SubSystemID> ["<Start Date>" "<End Date>"] [verbose]Where:
The MetadataCollectorID and the SubSystemID can be found by executing the utility:
Windows: C:\opt\Aptare\mbs\bin\listcollectors.bat
Linux: /opt/aptare/mbs/bin/listcollectors.sh
Dates need to be in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format.
Specifying verbose will log the Avamar commands called to the metadata.log file.
Note:
If the Start and End Dates are not specified, the utility will capture events that occurred in the last two weeks.
