Hi Usman,

There are a few simple ways this can be done. I'm using UNIX syntax, so you may need to slightly modify for Windows.

You could use the smartset utility:
/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil e '((isNode = true) && (("IP Status" = Normal) || ("IP Status" = Critical)))' '%Selection Name%,%IP Status%'

Or create a smartset with the rules you want (such as above) and run:
/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil l smartsetname

Alternatively, you could use a format file and the nvdbformat utility:
/usr/OV/bin/nvdbformat -f nodestatus.format

Here is an example of a format file that will list all nodes with there status, sorted into groups by status:
### example format file start ###
### File: nodestatus.format
### Usage: /usr/OV/bin/nvdbformat -f nodestatus.format
SELECTRULE:isNode=TRUE
SELECTFIELD:1:IP Hostname
SELECTFIELD:2:IP Status
#
GROUPBY:IP Status
SORTBY:1:IP Hostname
#
HEADER:Nodes Report:
HEADER:-------------
HEADER:
#
GROUPHEADER:Status: ${GROUPNAME} - ${NUMMATCH}
GROUPHEADER:IP Hostname, IP Status
GROUPHEADER:_____________________________________________
#
OUTPUT: ${1}, ${2}
#
### example format file end ###

Hope this helps.

Hi,
NV v7.1.4 FP05

Is there any way to get the status(up/down only) of all/any node(s) currently in the NV database .
