Agent Data API

Agent Data REST API is used to analyze real-time and short-term historical data to address any capacity and performance issues in your environment.


Prerequisite: The TrueSight Capacity Optimization Gateway Server with  TrueSight Capacity OptimizationAgents must be either in active Manager runs or in the Uncatalogued Systems list.

The following table provides the details of the Agent Data API methods:

Sample Response

POST

agent-data/v1/servers/

Retrieves a list of servers, including the metadata for the servers. You can retrieve a specified set of servers when:

  • A server parameter is declared, a case insensitive search is performed in 'like' mode.
  • Operators are added by the call and 'like' operators are not required from the client. A search is performed as '%searchString%'.
Sample request

{

    "server.list": [

        "bpa",

        "dv0"

    ],

    "pagination": {

        "page": 1,

        "size": 3

    }

}
