Using the Publish-Subscribe REST approach to receive events

The REST API is used to create a stream event subscription. The API will create the new event based on the criteria provided. Event-stream identifier is supported with query only.

Creating a stream event subscription

The web service API uses the POST method to create a stream event subscription. You must provide authentication credentials by using the login API before accessing the data. For information about the authentication process, see Web services authentication.

URL to create a stream event subscription

The generic format of the URL to create a stream event subscription is as follows:

http|https://<serverHost>:<port>/bppmws/api/stream/subscribe?dataType=event

Input parameters in the JSON format to create a stream event subscription

You can provide the following parameters to create a stream event subscriptions in the JSON format along with the URL.

When you provide input parameters for any web service request, you must specify the following parameters in the header of the web service request as follows:


ParameterInput
content-typeapplication/json
acceptapplication/json
authorizationauthToken <Auth Token issued by Remedy Single Sign-On or Atrium Single Sign-On>

Input parameters in the JSON format to create a stream event subscription

AttributesDescription
dataType

Type of data to be streamed. The supported type is event.

subscriptionNameUnique name for the subscription.
destination

The details of requested destination.
type: REST
url: URL to be used for REST destination.
username: User name to be used for REST
password: Base64 encoded password to be used for REST.

criteria

A criteria defines the following fields:

  • resourceType: The resource type specified for a criteria. The supported values are cell and event.
  • condition: The string representing the criteria. The <"slotname EQUALS \"value\""> syntax is used as a condition for cell. For example, <"name EQUALS \"pncell_vm-1304\"">.
    The "condition": "severity EQUALS \"CRITICAL\"" syntax is used as a condition for an event.
    The cell condition should be declared before an event condition.

    For information on the list of operators that can be used with this parameter, see Operator List.

    See API Sample.

    Limitation

    You can only subscribe to the default Infrastructure Management cell. Subscribing to the remote cells or additional Infrastructure Management cells is not supported.

criteriasOne or more criteria used to select data. Specifying at least a single criteria is mandatory.

Note

The following operators are applicable only to the criteria input parameter where the field resourceType equals event.

The first and second operands correspond to the following:

  • first operand: The input message string specified before the operator type
  • second operand: The comparison string value specified after the operator type

Operator TypeDescriptionExample
ENDS_WITH

It returns true if the first operand ends with values specified in second operand, else it returns false. Both the operands are expected as string values.
