REST API - Services "Properties"

Trying to get "serviceProperties" to populate when pulled via the REST API.

I add a Properties entry on a Web Service Check: Name - [account_name], Value - [TheoretDevelopment] but the results always come back empty. Tried various options.

Does the REST API actually support this field? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

I was trying from the Group level as some of our clients (group) have 15+ Services. But you did solve the mystery. Thank you very much Sarah!

Are the properties you're trying to pull set at the service level, or inherited from a group? The serviceProperties object will only display properties set for the service in question, and won't include any inherited properties (we'll be publishing a properties sub-resource in our next release that includes all service properties, including inherited properties, and labels them by type).

Sarah, unfortunately the -Depth 5 did not pull the properties. I utilized the exact PowerShell example, with our creds of course.

"checkpoints": [
{
"id": 282,
"geoInfo": "Overall",
"smgId": 0
},
{
"id": 151899387,
"geoInfo": "US - Los Angeles",
"smgId": 1
},
{
"id": 281,
"geoInfo": "US - Washington DC",
"smgId": 2
}
],
"serviceProperties": [

Got it - I think found the issue: When the script converts the response to JSON, it isn't catching those nested objects like checkpoints, serviceProperties, etc. If you add '-Depth 5' as an option when converting, such that the full line is '$body = $response.data | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5', you'll see those nested JSON objects. I'll correct the example scripts - sorry for the confusion! Let me know if this doesn't fix your issue.

Thanks for the reply Sarah. Yes, I am utilizing a PowerShell script. Almost identical to the example at: https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/rest-api-developers-guide/overview/using-logicmonitors-rest-api/ except I added: $queryParams = '?size=900'

<# account info #> $accessId = 'unique' $accessKey = 'unique' $company = 'cwps' <# request details #> $httpVerb = 'GET' $resourcePath = '/service/services'
$queryParams = '?size=900'


 
<# Construct URL #>
$url = 'https://' + $company + '.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + $resourcePath + $queryParams

<# Get current time in milliseconds #>
$epoch = [Math]::Round((New-TimeSpan -start (Get-Date -Date "1/1/1970") -end (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()).TotalMilliseconds)

<# Concatenate Request Details #>
$requestVars = $httpVerb + $epoch + $resourcePath + $queryParams

<# Construct Signature #>
$hmac = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA256
$hmac.Key = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($accessKey)
$signatureBytes = $hmac.ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($requestVars))
$signatureHex = [System.BitConverter]::ToString($signatureBytes) -replace '-'
$signature = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($signatureHex.ToLower()))

<# Construct Headers #>
$auth = 'LMv1 ' + $accessId + ':' + $signature + ':' + $epoch
$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Authorization",$auth)
$headers.Add("Content-Type",'application/json')

<# Make Request #>
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Get -Header $headers 

<# Print status and body of response #>
$status = $response.status
$body = $response.data| ConvertTo-Json

Write-Host "Status:$status"
Write-Host "Response:$body"
