About the CA Enterprise Log Manager API

The CA Enterprise Log Manager API uses a web application that accepts HTTPs post commands to return the query or report information you want. The web application consists of a dedicated iGateway spindle.

You use specific URLs that include arguments to control what data is returned and how it is filtered. Each available URL / API command verifies whether the caller is authenticated by validating the session id or certificate credentials. Each HTTPs request must contain one of these types of authentication information.

CA Enterprise Log Manager API features include:

• Authenticated, secure APIs
• Product registration for single sign-on (SSO)
• Retrieval of a query or report list, filtered by tag
• Display of a query or report in the interactive CA Enterprise Log Manager interface, allowing filtering, and embedding in a user interface

To use CA Enterprise Log Manager API calls effectively, be familiar with the federation structure of your environment, the queries and reports available, and user roles and their access rights.
