DX Unified Infrastructure Management

Does anyone have an example of creating an alarm utilizing the RESTful Web Services API?  I just want to verify the entries at the top to get the alarms into UIM.  Not concerned as much about the fields.

thanks

HI.
I'm using Powershell. With this part of the script, it should work:
********************************************************************

********************************************************************

$user = "USER"
$pass= "PASSWORD"
$uri = "https://my.ca.uim/rest/alarms/createAlarm"

$Headers = @{Authorization = 'Basic ' + [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("$($user):$($pass)"))};

$json = @{
    assignedBy = "";
    assignedTo = "";
    custom1 = "";
    custom2 = "";
    custom3 = "";
    custom4 = "";
    custom5 = "";
    devId = "";
    domain = "";
    hostname = "";
    hub = "";
    level = $Level;
    message = $Message
    metId = "";
    nas = "";
    origin = "";
    prevLevel = "";
    probe = "";
    robot = "";
    severity = $Severity;
    source = $Source;
    subsystem = $Subsys;
    subsystemId = $Subsysid
    suppressionCount = "0";
    suppressionKey = $Suppkey;
    visible = "true"
            } | ConvertTo-Json

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json" -Method Post -Body $json

I hope, this is what you looked for.

thanks for the reply.  The group that is working on using this API is asking if someone has a XML example for creating an alarm.  

thanks again

Just change the json to xml:

********************************************************************
********************************************************************

$user = "USER"
$pass= "PASSWORD"
$uri = "https://my.ca.uim/rest/alarms/createAlarm"

$Headers = @{Authorization = 'Basic ' + [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("$($user):$($pass)"))};

$json = @"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <alarm>
    <assignedBy></assignedBy>
    <assignedTo></assignedTo>
    <custom1></custom1>
    <custom2></custom2>
    <custom3></custom3>
    <custom4></custom4>
    <custom5></custom5>
    <devId></devId>
    <domain></domain>
    <hostname></hostname>
    <hub></hub>
    <level>3</level>
    <message>Testmessage</message>
    <metId></metId>
    <nas></nas>
    <origin></origin>
    <prevLevel>0</prevLevel>
    <probe></probe>
    <robot></robot>

    <source>w2k8r2-x64-lc</source>
    <subsystem>Nimsoft</subsystem>
    <subsystemId>1</subsystemId>
    <suppressionCount>0</suppressionCount>
    <suppressionKey></suppressionKey>
    <visible>true</visible>
  </alarm>
"@
