Tegile IntelliFlash - API - Datasources?

@Vitor Santos, looks like their API uses Basic Auth, so it should be fairly trivial to make simple calls with our built-in HTTP library, and parse the JSON with JSON Slurper:

 

import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.http.HTTP
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

hostname = hostProps.get("system.hostname")
port = hostProps.get("api.port")
user = hostProps.get("api.user")
pass = hostProps.get("api.pass")

httpClient = HTTP.open(hostname, 443, true)
httpClient.setAuthentication(user, pass)

/*
 * This helper function handles any HTTP GETs.
 */

def httpGET(endpoint) {

    httpClient.get(endpoint)

    if (httpClient.getStatusCode() == 200) {

        return new JsonSlurper().parseText(httpClient.getResponseBody())
    } else {
        println "STATUS CODE:\n${httpClient.getStatusCode()}\n\nRESPONSE:\n${httpClient.getResponseBody()}"
    }
}

/////// Your Code:

def alarms = httpGET("/alarms")

println(alarms.json_property_you_want_to_access)


return 0;

Basically, you use HTTP.open to connect, setup the auth. We define a helper function to make GET requests and pass the body to JsonSlurper so you end up with a parsed object you can iterate over and print from.

Hello Michael, 

Thanks for you reply!

I was able to do it in the meanwhile (started reading the documentation and trying out on Groovy) & ended up getting it.

I'm working on trying to do the same monitoring (via API) that we're currently doing using SNMP (there's some limitations but, I believe we can do it).
I'll post here my data sources once I've finished them (in order for you guys to view/correct/make use of).

Ok, I finished the datasources we need & I believe it looks nice.
Deployed those within all the Tegile devices & it seems to work nice.

I was trying to create a package out of those (to further deploy it within Exchange) but, Exchange seems to be weird today. I can't even commit those to our rep.

Anyone else facing issues?
