Script — Publish custom REST API
•
API Name: Publish custom REST API
•
Description: The Management Server provides the capability for publishing custom REST API with scripts. To run scripts of custom REST API, ensure that the value of Choose an Associated Cartridge (Optional) is set to Forge-RestAPI in the Administration > Tooling > Script Console > Scripts > Add > Run Script dialog box. This API is a runtime registration, so the registered custom REST APIs will be lost after restarting the server.
•
Request type: Depends on the API definition.
•
API path: Depends on the API definition.
•
Sample usage: See below for the template about how to publish a custom REST API.
/*Hint: disable @variable usage, use server.context('variable') instead*/

}
}
 
def rrm = server.context('extensionContext').get(RestResourceManager.class);
rrm.registerRestAPIExtension(new MyRestAPIExtension());
After running the above codes in the Script Console dashboard, you can access this API with the http://<fms_ip>:<fms_port>/api/v1/echo/host URL.
Note the following:
•
Use rrm.registerRestAPIExtension (replaces MyRestAPIExtension()) to register the custom API.
•
Use rrm.unregisterRestAPIExtensions (DummyCartridge) to remove the custom API.
•
The @Path annotation is used to define the relative URI path.
•
The @Get annotation is used to define the request type.
•
The @Produces annotation is used to define the MIME media types of representations a resource can produce and send back to the client.
•
The @Secured annotation is used to define whether the access token is required. If @Secured is used, Access-Token must be set in the request header.
For more information about annotations, visit JAX-RS Application, Resources and Sub-Resources.

Name
Description

data

Mandatory. Specifies the detailed data of an object.

typeName

Mandatory. Specifies the data type, and this field must be either of TopologyObject or its sub type.

properties

Mandatory. Specifies the property value of the type.

startTime

Mandatory. Specifies the data start time.

endTime

Mandatory. Specifies the data end time.

agentName

Mandatory. Specifies the value (in the string format) which identifies the client running this API.

When invoking this API, note the following:
•
Ensure that the data type (typeName) already exists in the server; otherwise this operation will fail.
If the data type is a new type, import this type by selecting Dashboards > Administrator > Data > Add Topology Type. Click the Help tab in the Add Topology Type dashboard to understand details of this new type.
•
All topology objects have the identity property (properties). The Management Server, based on this identity property, decides to merge the object with an existing object or to create a new object.
To find the identity property of a type, select Dashboards > Development Tools > Schema Browser (ensure that you have the Cartridge Developer role). If the identity property is a topology object, you can use the object unique ID as its reference. Fore more information, refer to the following Sample usage section.
The identity of Host type (hostId) is generate by some fields, so set the name and hostId properties at least if you want to create a host.
•
For the Observation type (including Metric) data, the data start time and end time use startTime and endTime in the request body.
•
If you see the message like “The rest agent cache queue is full...” in the log file, increase the value of the REST_AgentSubmitInfoQueueSize Registry Variable, and then run the following script in the Run Script dialog box. To run the following script, ensure that the value of Choose an Associated Cartridge (Optional) is set to Forge-RestAPI in the Administration > Tooling > Script Console > Scripts > Add > Run Script dialog box.
import com.quest.forge.rest.service.impl.RestAgentManagerImpl;

Sample usage:
•
Case 1: Create a general topology type instance. Consider for example we create an FSMAgentBlackout type instance. Find the identity of type FSMAgentBlackout is name in the Schema Browser dashboard. Use the following request body to create the FSMAgentBlackout type instance.
{
"data":[{
"typeName": "FSMAgentBlackout",
"properties": {
"name" : "Test-FSMAgentBlackout"
}
}],
"startTime": 1495180240539,
"endTime": 1495180540539,
"agentName": "sampleagent"
}
•
Case 2: Create a Host instance. If you want to submit Host type data, the name property is mandatory while vmId and systemId properites are optional. You can set both optional properties if you know their values. hostId is automatically generated based upon values of name, systemId, and vmId, so it is not required to set manually.
{
"data":[{
"typeName": "Host",
"properties": {
"hostId" : "Test-Host",
"name" : "Test-Host"
}
}],
"startTime": 1495180240539,
"endTime": 1495180540539,
"agentName": "sampleagent"
}
•
Case 3: Create a type instance which identity property is a topology object. Consider for example we create a HostProcess type instance. In the Schema Browser dashboard, find the identity properties of type HostProcess are name and os. The name property is a string, while the os property is OperatingSystem which is a topology type. Use the uniqueId of OperatingSystem as the reference, then create the HostProcess type instance as follows.
{
"data":[{
"name": "HostProcess",
"properties": {
"os" : "e197ee1a-a60d-4627-8313-72d6bd49ce61",
"name" : "Test-HostProcess"
}
}],
"startTime": 1495180240539,
"endTime": 1495180540539,
"agentName": "sampleagent"
}
•
Case 4: Create a custom type instance. Consider for example we have imported the below type definition in the Add Topology Type dashboard.
<type name='PushDataTest' extends='TopologyObject'>
<property name='name' type='String' is-identity='true'/>
</type>
The identity property is name in the above type definition. Use the following request body to create the custom type instance:
{
"data":[{
"typeName": "PushDataTest",
"properties": {
"name" : "Test-PushDataTest"
}
}],
"startTime": 1495180240539,
"endTime": 1495180540539,
"agentName": "sampleagent"
}
•
Case 5: Consider for example we have the following type definition.
<type name='PushDataTest' extends='TopologyObject'>
<property name='name' type='String' is-identity='true'/>
<property name='testMetric' type='Metric' is-containment='true'
unit-name='count' />
</type>
Use the following request body to push metrics.
{
"data":[{
"typeName": "PushDataTest",
"properties": {
"name" : "Test-PushDataTest",
"testMetric" : 100
}
}],
"startTime": 1499830726959,
"endTime": 1499830786959,
"agentName": "sampleagent"
}
If you still see your metrics after the metrics push, check the server log to see if you see any “Discarded value” warning.
•
Case 6: Consider for example we have the following type definition.
<type name='PushDataTest' extends='TopologyObject'>
<property name='name' type='String' is-identity='true'/>
<property name='testMetric' type='Metric' is-containment='true' unit- name='count' />
<property name='testObservation' type='TestObservation' is- containment='true' unit-name='count' />
</type>
<type name='TestObservation' extends='ComplexObservation'>
<property name='current' type='TestObservationValue' is-many='false' is- containment='true' />
<property name='latest' type='TestObservationValue' is-many='false' is- containment='true' />
<property name='history' type='TestObservationValue' is-many='true' is- containment='true' />
</type>
<type name='TestObservationValue' extends='ObservedValue'>
<property name='value' type='TestObject' is-containment='true'/>
</type>
<type name='TestObject' extends='DataObject'>
<property name='testName' type='String' />
<property name='createDate' type='Date' />
<property name='createTime' type='Double' />
</type>
Use the following request body to push observations.
{
"data":[{
"typeName": "PushDataTest",
"properties": {
"name" : "PushDataTest",
"testMetric": 112233,
"testObservation": {
"testName" : "testObservation",
"createDate": 1495447993592,
"createTime": 1495447993592
}
}
}],
"startTime": 1499839494614,
"endTime": 1499839554614,
"agentName": "sampleagent"
}
