Using APIs to generate report data for App Visibility Manager

The Reporting APIs for App Visibility Manager use Representational State Transfer (REST) web services that enable you to collect report data about applications, servers, transactions, and application health.

To authenticate the API clients and the App Visibility portal

The APIs require two-way SSL authentication between your client application that retrieves the content and the App Visibility portal.

  1. Obtain a self-signed certificate or a certificate that has been signed by a trusted certificate authority.
  2. Add the certificate to your custom truststore file on App Visibility portal.
