How to get a list of unused ports with Extreme Management Center ?

How to get a list of unused ports with Extreme Management Center ?

Hi,

I'm using Extreme Management Center version 8.1.4.40 with base licence. I'm looking for a way to get a listing of unused port for the last 1 year.
I configured a daily task to collect "capacity planning" data but I'm stuck in the generation of a report like Ridgeline software did previously. And the "Capacity Planning" menu in Extreme Management Center's Dashborad just show a red disk indicating 100% not collected...

For the moment, I try to check on demand, device per device, but I loose a lot of time and if the device has rebooted less than 1 year ago then I can't get a useful report.

All my switches are running ExtremeXOS (from version 12.x to the last 22.x).

Does anybody know a way to perfom this ?

Regards,
Romain M.

Hi there,

After some more research on the web, on the hub etc... I finally found a link to ExtremeNetwork's GitHub.
https://github.com/extremenetworks

There is a part dedicated to NetSight-Reports-View where I found many flexviews. Sorry Sri, all my searches about FlexReport brought me back to this thread.

One FlexView is called "Port_Status_Time_with_alias" located here : https://github.com/extremenetworks/Netsight-Report-Views/tree/master/FlexView/Networking

This flexview generate a list of all ports from a device, its current status and the elapsed time in this state. You can export data to a CSV file.
The data don't seems to persist accros device's reboot.

can anyone tell me where the flexviews for Port_Status_Time_with_alias is now on 8.3?

Thank you Sri.

In this Q&A : https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/Q_A/What-options-do-I-have-for-NetSight
It's written that reports is include in NMS license, does FlexReport is a feature included in "Reports" ?
My server is running a NMS-base license.

In XMC, we have a couple of reports available for Port usage. These are all under FlexReports (for any given site). Please look at the following FlexReports : Device Ports Used or Port Capacity.
