Retrieving the performance data of monitor instances

Before you begin

You must have used the login API to obtain the authToken, which authenticates the user performing the operation. For details, see TSWS authentication.

Request syntax

Request parameters

Sample request with REST client

After you access the REST client, perform the following steps:

   https://<PresentationServerHostName>/tsws/10.0/api/omprovider/perfdata
2. Add a new header row and select Authorization as the header type.
3. Enter the text authToken followed by the authToken generated through the login API. See TSWS authentication.
4. Enter the request parameters in JSON format. Ensure that none of the request parameters are empty.
   
   1. tenantId — the tenant name, for example "BmcRealm".
   2. Select one of the following options:
      
      • monUniqName
      • instKeyList that includes serverId, monTypeId, and monInstId.

      If you provide both monUniqName and instKeyList details, only the monUniqName input is considered.

   3. startTime

   4. endTime

      Note

Troubleshooting

When multiple instance keys (instKeyList) details are provided as input, you might receive a 206 Partial Content message in the output. The possible reasons are:

• All instance keys do not belong to the same monitor unique name. Instance keys are scanned in the order they appear in the instKeyList. The first monitor unique name found from the instance key is considered as a valid monitor unique name and data is retrieved for all instance keys with this monitor unique name. Other instance keys having a different monitor unique name is considered as invalid.
• Duplicate instance keys are present in the instKeyList.
• Parameters in the instance key could not be parsed into a valid type.

Check for these conditions and modify the input accordingly.
