Data Aggregator uses REST web services to manage administrative operations, such as retrieve data or manage relationships between profiles and tenants or groups. These REST web services support the CA Performance Center user interface. Alternatively, you can perform operations using the API. As an administrator, you can use any REST client tool to perform requests or an HTTP tool that can send requests and can receive responses.
There are three types of REST web services:
Designed as a public API for customers who want to access Data Aggregator configuration information and metric data for their own purposes. The OpenAPI is designed to stay constant over time, even if the internal data storage structure changes.
Important: The OpenAPI uses a QueryBuilder interface. This release of the interface is in BETA, and we do NOT recommend using the interface in production environments. There are limitations in scalability and authorization options (single user and password).
Used by the CA Performance Center UI to read and modify Data Aggregator configuration information, such as Monitoring Profiles and Groups.
Used by the CA Performance Center UI to manage metric families and limited SNMP vendor certification support. Generic REST web services are self-filtering and do not use an argument within the URL to manage relationships.
