FreeNAS 11.3 API 2.0

[Marjan]

Hello,​

I am using FreeNAS 11.3 and I am trying to get alerts using API 2.0. I am doing this with powershell. I do get alerts no problem there. The problem is the date of alerts. This is script I am using:

Code:

$Credentials = IMPORT-CLIXML ".\SecureCredentials.xml"
$RESTAPIUser = $Credentials.UserName
$RESTAPIPassword = $Credentials.GetNetworkCredential().Password
$RESTAPIServer = "ServerFQDN"
$Uri = "https://" + $RESTAPIServer + "/api/v2.0/alert/list"
$Type = "application/json"

$Headers = @{ Authorization = "Basic {0}" -f [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $RESTAPIUser, $RESTAPIPassword))) }
try {
    $result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Uri -Headers $Headers -Method Get -SessionVariable Freenas_S -ContentType $Type
    $result
}
catch {}

This is one of alerts listed:

uuid : ed1857cb-2e2a-4603-95f9-65aab08f4064​

source :​

klass : ScrubFinished​

args : freenas-boot​

node : Controller A​

key : "freenas-boot"​

datetime : @{$date=1592099130997}​

dismissed : False​

mail :​

text : Scrub of pool %r finished.​

id : ed1857cb-2e2a-4603-95f9-65aab08f4064​

level : INFO​

formatted : Scrub of pool 'freenas-boot' finished.​

one_shot : True​

Powershell sees the value for $date as Int64, running [datetime]::FromFileTime($result[1].datetime.'$date') gives this:

Tuesday, January 2, 1601 21:13:29​

I get same date and time for all alerts, although the $date number is different for all the alerts.

I need information how can I convert $date to proper date and time. Any help is appreciated, small "push" to right direction should be enough :)

Cheers

Thanks Samuel. The answer is in the thread that you mentioned.

If this will help anyone, the time returned are miliseconds. This is the code I used to convert to local date and time:

Code:

datetimeoffset]::FromUnixTimeMilliseconds($result.datetime.'$date')

Where $result is the full text of the alert.
