Hello,
Is there a way to export the information in the "edit entry - information" tabs ?
We want to use RDM as our main repository for system information but need a way to export this info.
If not is there an easy way to do this (we will be using Azure) ?
Thanks !
Phil.
Hi
You want only the content of that tab? If so I'm thinking powershell is the answer.
If the export is not done on a regular basis, you could export the whole entry using Clipboard->Copy, and paste in your editor of choice. You must find the appropriate fields and its more work.
We can help with powershell if thats your chosen method.

Hi Maurice,
The objective is that techs use RDM on Azure to keep info up-to-date. Management on the other hand wants a spreadsheet with all servers and certain characteristics. We need to import "information" and I do see some stuff we may want to import out of "more"so we can build that spreadsheet for them.
Would this be easy to export out of Azure using SSMS as a delimited text file and then import that to Google Docs or Excel ? Or wold power shell be simpler.
Thanks !
Phil.
Hi,
I think that we are missing some reporting tools. We will try to add more for the next major. Do you have some fields specifically that you want?

Hi David,
I would say anything that is "information" or "more". I am looking to keep list of systems in there.
But come to think of it, being able to make a CSV file from any field in a host properties may be the way to go. Makes more sense.
When is the next major release ?
Is there a powerShell workaround in the emantime or some other way to extract the data ?
Thanks,
Philippe.
The next major release is planned for before the summer. I will ask stefane if he can do a small powershell to extract the data

Wow. Je suis bouche bée.
This was the missing piece to move on Azure and get this implemented.
Thanks,
Philippe.
Here is a sample PowerShell script that extracts a few fields (OS, Hardware & Description) then exports it all to a CSV file.
Simply add more lines to add new export columns. To find the "path" value of the GetProperty method follow the steps outlined in this blog ("Additional tips", point #2)

If you have a specific question, let me know.
