Hi,

I had a request to produce a quarterly report that will list all types of exclusions that have been put in place in Commvault.    Currently on 11.32.89

I have been looking at the reports on the Commvault cloud, Custom reports, rest API.  This seems like a nearly impossible task to do.

What we are looking for is :

  • Excluded VMs and VM disks
  • Excluded files and folders for File System Agent, for each clients/subclients

Does anyone know how we could accomplish this ?

Thanks

Your VM exclusions - are you explicitly adding a VM as excluded or using a rule to find VMs to exclude at runtime?

If the latter there would be no way to invoke the runtime rules to get a list - but you should beable to get the rules somehow. A different tact might be to scrape the vsdiscover log file for this info.

The CommCell configuration report may work - I have not tried it but it may display discovery rules and exclusions.

Hi,
It’s for explicitly excluded VMs and VM disks.

I will look at the vsdiscover log and see what useful information I can get in there.   Otherwise, it seems like we will have to manually scrape the info we are looking for.

Thanks

The Audit Trail Report should capture all explicit filtering / exclusion configurations.

A combination of Keywords and Quick Filters may return the required results.
