How to verify backup status using Avamar MCCLI

This guide is to help you to verify backup status from Avamar Utility Node. If you find using GUI is too slow to validate backup of hundreds of failed client, you can use this command which later you can customize a script and sent to your email etc2.

Syntax:
mccli activity show [GLOBAL-OPTIONS] [--active=Boolean(false)]
[--completed=Boolean(false)] [--domain=STRING]
[--queued=Boolean(false)] --name=STRING [--verbose=Boolean(false)]
[DISPLAY-OPTIONS]

--active=Boolean(false) If set true, only currently running activities are returned.
--completed=Boolean(false) If set true, only completed activities are returned.
--domain=STRING Specifies Avamar server domain containing the client specified by the --name argument.
If this option is suppled and --name is not supplied, all activities within that domain are shown.
--name=STRING Specifies client for which activities should be shown.
IMPORTANT: If a fully-qualified client name (for example, /clients/MyClient) is supplied, the --domain argument is ignored.
--queued=Boolean(false) If set true, only queued activities are returned.
--verbose=Boolean(false) If set true, detailed (verbose) activity information is returned. If set false or not supplied, summary
information is returned.
