REST API Call to get all devices which are currently backed up

@MikeDRG ,

If you run a job summary report using the default time frame of last 24 hours, that will list of the jobs that ran the client and subclient names. Which I believe will give you what you are looking for. If need be the report can be saved as a csv file.

@HolowEd 

thanks for the reply!

I’m sure I can run the report automatically, right? Can I also access the csv file directly from my script?

Yes, there is a “dirty” way of doing that via APi:)

Section: Sample Requests: DataProtectionJobSummary

is there also a clean way to achieve what I wanna do?

HI @MikeDRG ,

Maybe something like this?

https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP34/api/cv/OpenAPI3/get-servers

For API documentation I would use api.commvault.com

And in regards of which API to use, all endpoints should provide the same functionality, it should only depend on which ones are available to you

Hi @Javier 

I tried https://<FQDN-of-commcell>/webconsole/api/V4/Servers?showOnlyInfrastructureMachines=0 and it only returned 197 objects which is exactly the number of clients in “Client Computers” (viewed in Commcell Console) - I guess this is “all objects which have an agent”.

It’s kinda what I want but I also need virtual machines which don’t have an agent.

Didn’t expect it to be so complicated to get a list of devices :D

@MikeDRG ,

You will probably also need to run this API Request to get the list of virtual machines https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/rest_api_get_virtual_machines.html.
