Retrieving synthetic execution data and metrics

Use the GET method to retrieve execution data and metrics, for the most recent execution or historic executions, of a single Execution Plan or all of your Execution Plans.

Note

If you are retrieving historical data for your Execution Plans, this is limited to a maximum of 15000 records retrieved from each App Visibility collector. If there are more than 15000 relevant records, the most recent records are retrieved.

Before you begin

You must obtain an authToken by using the login API. The token authenticates the user performing the operation. For details, see TSWS authentication.

To retrieve synthetic execution data

Use the following request syntax for the getLatest and getHistorical APIs:

For retrieving the most recent execution data	https://<PresentationServerHostName>/tsws/10.0/api/appvis/synthetic/api/data/getLatest?applicationId=<AID>&executionPlanId=<EPID>&locationId=<LID>&withErrors=<E>&withCustomTimers=<CT>&withPageTimers=<PT>
For retrieving historic execution data	https://<PresentationServerHostName>/tsws/10.0/api/appvis/synthetic/api/data/getHistorical?applicationId=<AID>&executionPlanId=<EPID>&locationId=<LID>&withErrors=<E>&withCustomTimers=<CT>&withPageTimers=<PT>&fromEndTime=<FET>&toEndTime=<TET>

In the above examples:

<PresentationServerHostName> indicates the host name of the TrueSight Presentation Server.
<AID> indicates the ID of the application on the Presentation Server (not the synthetic application ID).
<EPID> indicates the ID of the Execution Plan.
<LID> indicates the ID of the location.
<E> indicates whether to include errors.
<CT> indicates whether to include custom timers.
<PT> indicates whether to include page timers.
<FET> indicates from what end time to include data. (Historic data only)
<TET> indicates until what end time to include data. (Historic data only)

Sample request with REST client

After accessing the REST client, perform the following steps:

Enter the URL for the API.
An example of a request for a historic transaction data is:
https://localhost/tsws/10.0/api/appvis/synthetic/api/data/getHistorical?applicationId=1&executionPlanId=101&locationId=2&withErrors=false&withCustomTimers=false&withPageTimers=false&fromEndTime=1455019883851&toEndTime=1455623288778
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.
Click Send.

Request parameters

Element	Description
authToken	Value of authToken
Query parameters
applicationId	(Optional) ID of the application on the Presentation Server (not the synthetic application ID) If this parameter is not used, data is generated for all applications.
executionPlanId	( Optional ) ID of the Execution Plan If this parameter is not used, data is generated for all Execution Plans.
locationId	( Optional ) ID of the location If this parameter is not used, data is generated for all locations.
withErrors	( Optional ) Boolean value indicating if errors are included in the generated data. If this parameter is not used, errors are not included.
withCustomTimers	( Optional ) Boolean value indicating if custom timers are included in the generated data.If this parameter is not used, custom timers are not included.
withPageTimers	( Optional ) Boolean value indicating if page timers are included in the generated data.If this parameter is not used, page timers are not included.
fromEndTime	( Optional ) ( getHistorical API only ) Time value in UTC format indicating that transactions that ended after this end time are included in the data. If this parameter is not used, all available results until toEndTime are included.
toEndTime	(Optional) ( getHistorical API only) Time value in UTC format indicating that transactions that ended up to and including this end time are included in the data. If this parameter is not used, all available results ending after fromEndTime are included.

Response

The following JSON is a sample of the code returned by the API for a request for historic data.
