As a quick follow up to the pattern, I thought that posting a report fragment might be useful.

If you copy the attached file (00USBDrives.xml) to

$TIDEWAY/data/custom/reports 

and restart the tideway service then an additional Channel called “Custom Reports” will be available when customising a home page dashboard.

The channel contains a single report called “USB Mass Storage Devices”.  When run, you get output similar to that seen in the screenshot attached.

I tried all these steps and i am getting report of the USB Mass storage Device in home page…
But i am not getting “no result found” ...

I discovered a system with USB mouse and USB hard disk .” no results found “when i click on the report.
The above discovery has been done after tpl uploaded,xml and restart of tideway service also.

Please suggest me to resolve this issue….

I recommend changing the pattern to reflect the code below as this pattern occasionally gave errors until I added the text.toNumber line.

if disk_size then
  disk_size := text.toNumber(disk_size);
  disk_size := disk_size/(1024*1024);
end if; 

Otherwise this pattern works fine for me to discover any number of attached USB drives to windows systems.

Mod to the above script - Replace with (Test with/For ADDM 8.2.1 and above)

  disk_size := text.toNumber(disk_size)/1073741824;
end if;

  #:::Host.name AS "Host",
  summary,
  size AS 'Size (GB)',

  #:::Host.last_update_success AS 'Host last success'
</show>

Andy,

I am new to Atrium Discovery.  I have just become an administrator for our ADDM console and was asked to find a way to integrate USB device detection.  Everywhere I search leads me to your forum discussion and your blog entry.  Is the tpl file you have attached to your forum discussion appropriate for ADDM 8.3?

Thanks!

Dave

We are still running that pattern (albeit a slightly updated one) on our internal deployment of ADDM and it works fine.  I would be interested to understand the Use Case you are looking to support with this, care to share?

I will tidy up the current version of the pattern and post it to this thread.  Hopefully that may be more help to you.

Thanks for the quick responses!  I’ll stay tuned for your latest version.  Andy, I’ll PM you about our use of this pattern.
