Metrics with livestatus

I read the question as “Why don’t I get MHz when I ask for Uptime?” but maybe I’m wrong :wink:

The query

lq "GET services
Filter: host_name = ESX1
Filter: service_description = Uptime
Columns: rrddata:m1:uptime.max,1,*:1593883300:1596568904:1
OutputFormat: json"

fetches the performance data of

  • host ESX1 and
  • service Uptime between
  • Sat Jul 4 19:21:40 CEST 2020 (1593883300) and
  • Tue Aug 4 21:21:44 CEST 2020 (1596568904)

If you want to fetch the MHz, then you obviously have to pick another service – preferably one that shows MHz values, maybe ESX CPU?

The code snippet you refer to and given here by @andreas-doehler was just an example of how to get such historical data in general.
