DX Unified Infrastructure Management

Hi,

Where can i get help related to REST API? I'm not getting any help on this from any forum/CA?

CA UIM

Thanks

RESTful Web Services - CA Unified Infrastructure Management Probes - CA Technologies Documentation 

If you are using VB, you can send a message with:

Set restReq = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
restReq.open "POST", url, false, username, password
restReq.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/xml"
restReq.send data

A quick search using Google of "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP" will give you loads of examples.

Thanks Garin.

But I'm not finding much details on pulling data's from CA UIM using REST API like, if the Target is something like this "Gi0/0/3.851(GigabitEthernet0/0/3.851)" how should i send the target in the rest call? i tried url encode/decode but nothing works.. also how can i get all the Items under one origin. Also based on User Tags?  like this i have multiple questions but not getting any response.

Hi,

What do you want exactly ? If you are pulling data (basically just dump the http request body to look how you have to play with the JSON or the XML Object).

I think the call references have everything you need : 

Call Reference - CA Unified Infrastructure Management Probes - CA Technologies Documentation 

And if you want to put data (for callback2 for example), i think you have a JSON model and XML Model (i dont know much for the JSON One). But for XML i already created a JS code to create the XML Objet with an ES6 Map.

class PDS {

    constructor(esMap) {
        this._inner = "";
        esMap != null && esMap.forEach( (v,k) => this.push(k,v) );
    }

    push(key,element) {
        if(key == null || element == null) return;

        if(typeof element === 'string') {
            this._inner+=`<nimString key="${key}">${element}</nimString>`;
        }
        else if(typeof element === 'number') {
            this._inner+=`<nimInt key="${key}">${element}</nimInt>`;
        }
        else if(element instanceof PDS) {
            this._inner+=element.toString(key);
        }
    }

    toString(key) {
        return key != null ? `<nimPds key="${key}">${this._inner}</nimPds>` : `<nimPds>${this._inner}</nimPds>`;
    }
}

const userId = "fraxken";
const values = new Map([
    ["check_name","DeltaError"],
    ["description","File system /"],
    ["disk","/dev/root"],
    ["drive","/"],
    ["filesys","/"],
    ["filesystemtype","ext3"],
    ["unit","MB"],
    ["value","244.0"],
    ["value_limit","5"],
]);

const udata = new Map([
    ["level",3],
    ["subsys","1.1.1.1"],
    ["message","DeltaError: Disk usage change on /, changed by 244.0 MB"],
    ["token", "as#system.cdm.disk_usage_changed_by_value"]
]);

const postraw_data = new Map([
    ["tz_offset", 18000],
    ["nimts", Math.floor(Date.now()/1000)],
    ["pri", 3],
    ["subject", "alarm"],
    ["prid", "cdm"],
    ["source", "127.0.0.1"],
    ["robot", "keepcode-xa01"],
    ["domain","AREA51"],
    ["origin","error404"],
    ["user_tag_1", userId],
    ["suppression", "y000000000#disk///delta///"+userId],
    ["supp_key", "disk///delta///"+userId],
    ["dev_id", "DA6BED5555D47C791B670C5A943101A7E"],
    ["met_id", "M34DE72C2F392D29583C18467759199E7"]
]);

udata.set('values', new PDS(values));
postraw_data.set('udata', new PDS(udata));

console.log(new PDS(postraw_data).toString());

And the XML Output :
