    hi - with dx_snapshot_db i can take a snapshot ... Tested it and it works fine. As part of this job is there a way to list the timestamp of that snapshot ?

    Hello,

    dx_snapshot_db use the "job" API to query the job status. You can see the Properties and the Query Parameters that are retrievable with the "job" API by going to your Engine and appending "api" to the URL ( http://mydelphixengine.acme.com/api/#job for example). Unfortunately, the timestamp or name of the snapshot are not available as a part of the "job" API.

    There are lots of other types of jobs so I don't know that the snapshot "timestamp" really makes sense in the context of this API.

    You could use a different API to get details of the snapshot itself:
    % ./dx_get_snapshots -engine neal605.dcol1.delphix.com -type dsource -name delphix -startDate "2021-02-10 00:00:00"
    Engine Group Database Snapshot name Start time End time
