I was writing PHP code to generate EMC VMAX performance reports / charts stored in MySQL DB. As we know that Unisphere REST API output performance metrics in epoch (13 digits) format (milliseconds). As an example, to draw a line chart for Frontend Director’s Read Response Time with X axis / Abscissa as epoch time. I’ve used below query to generate the datapoints to draw the chart using pChart

SELECT TIME(FROM_UNIXTIME(timstamp/1000)) as TIME, ROUND(AVG(perfval),2) as wrt FROM vmax_perf

where DAYOFMONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(timstamp/1000)) = DAYOFMONTH(DATE_SUB(curdate(), INTERVAL 1 DAY))

and objname =’fe’ and perfparam =’ReadResponseTime’

group by HOUR(FROM_UNIXTIME(timstamp/1000))

Let me explain the above statement

TIME(FROM_UNIXTIME(timstamp/1000)) :: Extract Time from the epoch (13 digit) format in millisecond

ROUND(AVG(perfval),2) :: Average of Read Response Time per Hour rounded output to 2 digits after decimal point

DAYOFMONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(timstamp/1000)) = DAYOFMONTH(DATE_SUB(curdate(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)) :: Extract day (ex. ’12’ from 12th Nov 2016 where current date is 13th Nov 2016) and display the data points

group by HOUR(FROM_UNIXTIME(timstamp/1000)) :: Print the datapoints for every hour

If interested, please reach out to me to get the PHP code.
