Check this out. It is a quick and dirty script, but it may help you.
for i in `nbstl -b`
do
a=`nbstl $i -L |grep State |head -1|awk '{print $2}'`
echo $i," "$a
done
Thanks for the info. I see what you are talking about and Yes....I'm looking for SLP policy names and to check if the secondary operations are active or not. Sorry for not including that detail.
The good thing is that NBU has that info in it's databases. The hard part is getting the Name and State of just the SLP policy out of said DB's in a format that's meaningful for the backup admins. I ran the "nbstl -l" and I got about 200 lines of output that took me a bit to sort out what I was wanting to find in all that output. What I want to automate is a process that goes and gets a list of SLP policies and check for active/inactive secondary operations and if more that 20% of the SLP policies are inactive? I want to trigger a critical support ticket to my team for alerting purposes. My other thought is to automate the process to activate the secondary operations for any SLP policy that is set to inactive status for an after business hours health/status check.
