Rest API xml sign < gives parsing error anytime you use it in the script code:
Example 1 which fails:
def getMetricsFor(aInstance) {
def metrics = []
def windowStart = new Timestamp(startTime.getTime())
def windowStop = new Timestamp(startTime.getTime()+step)
while (windowStart< endTime) {
metrics.add(getMetricsFor(aInstance, windowStart, windowStop))
windowStart.setTime(windowStop.getTime())
windowStop.setTime(windowStop.getTime()+step)
}
return metrics
}Example 2 which works:
def getMetricsFor(aInstance) {
def metrics = []
def windowStart = new Timestamp(startTime.getTime())
def windowStop = new Timestamp(startTime.getTime()+step)
while (endTime >windowStart) {
metrics.add(getMetricsFor(aInstance, windowStart, windowStop))
windowStart.setTime(windowStop.getTime())
windowStop.setTime(windowStop.getTime()+step)
}
return metrics
}
