Composing requests in bulk data export API

To initiate bulk data export, submit an HTTPS GET request to the system in the following format:

https://<SystemHost>/getexport?<parameters>

Where:

  • <SystemHost> is the IP address, alias, or host name of your BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring computer.
  • <parameters> is one or multiple key-value pairs. Key-value pairs must be separated by ampersands (&) and the elements in a key-value pair must be linked with equal signs (=).

Sample request

https://10.0.0.1/getexport?usr=jdoe&pwd=pa55w0rd

This command downloads a zip file which contains the XLS files with data broken down by Session, Page, Object, and Errors. You can then use these files to populate a third party tool or generate reports.

You can also use these queries to break down data even further. You can add parameters to extract only pages, objects, or sessions. You might also want to narrow down by a specific time frame. To do this, add parameters to the URL. For example:

https://10.0.0.1//getexport?usr=jdoe&pwd=pa55w0rd&start=2014.03.17.00.00&end=2014.03.18.00.00&objects=false

This command extracts only the pages and sessions between March 17, 2014 00:00 UTC to March 18, 2014 00:00 UTC.
