The perfdata API uses the POST method to obtain performance data about monitor instances.
| API | Description |
|---|---|
| login | Obtains the authToken required to perform all other operations |
| configdata | Retrieves configuration data of monitor instances |
| perfdata | Retrieves performance data of monitor instances |
| API | Description |
|---|---|
| devices | Retrieves a list of monitored devices |
| instances | Retrieves a list of monitored instances |
| monitortypes | Retrieves a list of monitor types |
| tenants | Retrieves a list of tenants |
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
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| tenantId | Tenant name Example: BmcRealm |
| startTime | Start time in Epoch format. The start and end times should be in the range of 1 to 24 hours. |
| endTime | End time in Epoch format. The start and end times should be in the range of 1 to 24 hours. |
| type | only rate is supported |
| computation | Currently, only avg is supported |
| attribUniqNameList | Enter one or more attributes of the same monitor type. |
One of the following elements If you specify both monUniqName and instKeyList details, only the monUniqName input is used. | |
| monUniqName | Use the monitortypes API to get the monUniqName. You can specify only one monitor type. |
| instKeyList | Includes serverId, monTypeId, and monInstId. Use the instances API to get the serverId, monTypeId, and monInstId |
Sample request with REST client
After you access the REST client, perform the following steps:
- Enter the URL for the performance data of monitor instances API. The generic format is:
https://<PresentationServerHostName>/tsws/10.0/api/omprovider/perfdata - Add a new header row and select Authorization as the header type.
- Enter the text authToken followed by the authToken generated through the login API. See TSWS authentication.
- Enter the request parameters in JSON format. Ensure that none of the request parameters are empty.
- tenantId — the tenant name, for example "BmcRealm".
- Select one of the following options:
- monUniqName
- instKeyList that includes serverId, monTypeId, and monInstId.
Note
If you provide both monUniqName and instKeyList details, only the monUniqName input is considered.
- startTime
endTime
Note
The start and end times should be in the range of 1 to 24 hours.
- type

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.
