Generic API

Years ago I worked with something called BMC Patrol, used for monitoring systems similar to Logic Monitor.

They also had extensive API\'s for hosts, services (which LM does not have yet).

They offered a generic API that could hit anything at all (hosts, services, properties, scheduling, down time, alert rules).

The API accepted SQL (yes, you\'d need to watch out for SQL injection and such).

It did mean that in a pinch, if a given API didn\'t exist, if you knew the table structure, you could get at anything at all.

    Hi John,rnThank you for this feedback. I am aware that our API documentation is being revamped for our up-and-coming REST support. Beyond this, I do not have too much information on how the API calls & documentation will ultimately be structured, and what operations they will allow, but it will likely be dependent on the representational state transfer architectural constraints. rnOur product team should have more information to provide on this.rn rnBest,rnJoseph Skup.rnLogicMonitor Support
