Does anyone have a script to share that pulls the date/timestamp from the oldest packetdb file on a Decoder or similarly the metadb file on a Concentrator? Thought is to have that script run on a website hosted elsewhere on the network so that other users / team members can have visibility into the current retention capability on any given Decoder / Concentrator (as there are many appliances).
Thanks!
You should be able to do it easily with
curl -u user:password http://<concentrator>:50105/database/stats?force-content-type=text/plain
curl -u user:password http://<decoder>:50104/database/stats?force-content-type=text/plain
The end point is /database/stats on both devices.
If you only want a specific value you can go further into the tree and pick that single value that you want.
Hope that helps!

You could just bookmark the decoders assuming you have the REST API enabled. Just type the following into any browser that can connect to decoder/concentrator. I've also include the REST queries for individual stats that may be useful below. http://netwitnessip:50104/sys/stats also gives good information you can monitor. Change port to 50105 for concentrator.
