Status of IndexCache using CLI/RestAPI/ ... is there a way to get it ?

@mchaussoy 

Please try this API and let us know if this helps.

Hello,
Thanks for your answer,  the API call works but it does not give the information I need

part of return about index cache : 

"indexCache": {

        "path": "/opt/commvault/MediaAgent/IndexCache",

        "logsCache": {

            "enabled": true,

            "path": "/var/tmp"

        }

    }

not the status of indexCache but only those of alternate path for Index log directory

Hi,

the REST API provides a link on Commvault Cloud :

1/ not usable for a script on a server without web access

2/ the link is about report engine and dataset : not able to extract the information I need from this

https://cloud.commvault.com/webconsole/api/cr/reportsplusengine/datasets/96fe6756-89b7-46dd-84d4-1e173af94188:13a944d9-96b7-4c43-80e3-19622d922829/data/?offset=0&parameter.CommServUniqueId=136568&parameter.GroupId=-1&parameter.UseStoredPrediction=-1&parameter.sys_commcellGroupId=-1&limit=50
 

thanks for your efforts.

You can use the report API using your webconsole URL as well. Example if you pull your health report from the Webconsole or Command center then it will redirect to your webconsole URL not to the cloud.commvault.com

https://localhost/webconsole/api/……..

Considering if your CS is acting as a webserver.

Locally, health report is not the same :

• no possibility to access REST API
• not even the ability to view the full list of Media Agents (62  but only 2 printed)

Hi,

If somebody is still interested in, the best I found 2 years ago was (and nothing better since):

qoperation checkready -cs ${Commcell} -c ${MA} -sm | awk -F 'MediaAgent' '{ print $2 }' | awk -F '>' '{ print $3 }'`

→ Just the status of IndexCache

Using the REST API for the report mentioned previously, I created a Python script to grab the Media Agents and Index Status. Using AI help, this took less than 5 minutes. 😀

$ python cv_index_status.py | head -3
Media Agent  Status

Hi Scott
Your script looks good but I was interested only in IndexCache state (awk action on MA general state) : in an hyperscale (1.5)  cluster, if one NVME drive (where DDB and IndexCache are) is broken or just has access issues, the node does not fall and is not always automatically disabled by the commserv (MA status remains good)

It induces errors and slows everything so I check (cron job) and if IndexCache is not available (whatever the reason is), I put the node offline and disabled using qcommand.

No more errors and we can schedule test/debug/replacement easier.
