What is my Instance ID?

Hi all, I am new to Logic Monitor and I am working on my Python script to gather datapoints but I don't know what the Instance ID is of the data I want. How do I find this out? Thank yo...

Hi Thomas - You can get instance Ids for use with the REST API two ways:

1. via a GET request to the REST API instances resource for the desired datasource: https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/rest-api-developers-guide/datasource-instances/get-datasource-instances/

2. via the Info tab for the instance in the UI:

Thanks,

Sarah

Hey Thomas,

You need to call GET: /device/devices/{deviceId}/devicedatasources/{deviceDatasourceId}/instances and retrieve the instanceId from there and then pass the output into your call above.

I think what you are trying to do is the last example at the bottom of: https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/rest-api-developers-guide/data/get-data/
