Composing requests in Watchpoint summary export API
In the Watchpoint summary export API, the client application supplies the start and end times across which the system aggregates all data. For example, if you want to know how many errors there were in between 1 PM and 3 PM, you can specify 1 PM and 3 PM as your start and end times.
To initiate an export, submit an HTTPS GET request to the Watchpoint summary export API in the following format:
https://<SystemHost>/wpdata?<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 (=).

The system updates Watchpoint summary data every minute. The minimum resolution for Watchpoint summary data is a five-minute moving average (the most recent minute and the four minutes preceding it). BMC recommends that you query the Watchpoint summary at intervals greater than or equal to one minute.
