viewing SCC alarm status reports

[Yenwod]

Using Steelscript, is it possible to view SCC alarm status reports and obtaining the very useful information shown here in this help document?

I looked through the examples and don't see alarms. Looking through the Steelscript SCC docs, i see lots of stats but nothing on alarms, events or failures.

Not currently. The package provides an interface to the underlying REST APIs which are described in more detail here:
https://support.riverbed.com/apis/_products/SteelCentral_Controller_for_SteelHead/index.html

While the specific alarms aren't available, quite a number of the metrics they reference in that help document can be referenced:
https://support.riverbed.com/apis/cmc.stats/1.0/service.html#types_single_device_response_data

It would take a little bit of coding to extend the partners we have to query/report on something new, but it shouldn't be too hard.

Thanks @mgarabed - from what you've shared, it looks like my next action is to get into the SCC, examine how critical alerts are configured, and then use SteelScript to obtain a list of devices with stats that meet that criteria. If you see anything off about my logic, please let me know. Otherwise, we can close the issue.

Yep - that looks like a correct workflow.
