I have a report that gives me the information from a node over a period of time based on polled information. The problem I am having is that the information the poller receives is text and I need an integer. So what I was going to do is modify the SQL of the report to from this:
CustomNodePollerStatistics_CustomPollerStatistics.Status AS Status
To this:
SUBSTRING(CAST(CustomNodePollerStatistics_CustomPollerStatistics.Status AS VARCHAR(27)),1,1) AS Status,
Now instead of returning a string with info like: xxxx XX xxxxx 92 I am just getting "Up" as a return value. If I change SUBSTRING to 2 or above it changes from "Up" to "Unkown". What is happening here? Why is SUBSTRING not pulling out the specific characters I want?
Also, what is CustomNodePollerStatistics_CustomPollerStatistics and where does it come from? I notice things like this around and can't figure them out. I don't see a table or a view they represent in my database.
Thanks for any help.
