Node Down Time

You can use this query as an SWQL report or as a Query Widget. It is excellent as a widget as it includes hyperlinks. Credit to the original creator for adding all the comments!

Hi,

I am trying to use above sql query but its giving me an error as Invalid column name 'Nodes'. at StartTime.Nodes.NodeID

Please suggest

If you would, please give us more details on what you are trying to do?  Maybe you can post your exact code??

Also, the above query is not for SQL.. it is for SWQL

Thanks John,

I am using the above mentioned SWQL script to generate report. But its giving me an error Invalid column name 'Nodes'. at StartTime.Nodes.NodeID line in the script.

Am I missing anything here?

there are actually two different scripts above...  which are you using? The one that I posted? or the one that sten posted?  can you post the exact script you are trying to use?

The one which sten has posted.

Are you trying to run this query in SWQL Studio?

When I try to run his Query in SWQL Studio I get an error 

for your error... try changing 'Nodes.' to 'Node.'

have you tried my query above?

It didnt work, same error.

Before using i have removed any custom property, actually I am trying to convert this script as SQL one. As that the requirement.

In swql, verify your tables...
