Support Bundle Information Extraction

[Joshua_P]

Hi,

I am attempting to create a support bundle parser and there is a field in the esxcfg-info.xml file called "hardware-uptime", it is a very long stream of integers.  Does anyone know what that number is based on and I do not mean the type of uint64.  I am wanting to decode it into a usable/readable piece of information.  I do already know that it is not difficult to get the up-time from the command line.  This needs to be from the support bundle only.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello Joshua,

Welcome to Communities.

It is in microseconds, same output as:

# esxcli system stats uptime get

(Display the number of microseconds the system has been running.)

Unaware if 'parsing' log bundles violates any EULA or such - maybe depends whether personal or profit but the above info is public.
