REST API for Session Border Controller, Enterprise Session Border Controller, and Subscriber-Aware Load Balancer, Release 9.3.0

Get KPI data

get

https://{managementIp}/rest/{version}/statistics/kpis

This API retrieves KPI data. Using the hypermedia links returned in the discovery API (endpoint /statistics/kpiTypes), clients can retrieve the KPI data for a particular KPI "type". This will return all the KPI data values of the specified KPI type.

Request

Path Parameters

version(required): string

REST API version string.
Available values: v1.2

Query Parameters

type(required): string

This parameter specifies the KPI "type" to be retrieved. The KPI "type" is a set of related KPIs. Specifying this parameter will return all of the KPI data values of that particular "type". Use the parameter with a valid KPI type string.
Note - The valid KPI types can be discovered using the KPI discovery API (/statistics/kpiTypes).

Header Parameters

Authorization(required):

The value in the Authorization header must be the string "Bearer {access token}", where {access token} is a valid, unexpired token received in response to a prior /rest/{version}/auth/token request.

There's no request body for this operation.

Examples

Examples of Accessing the API

See Authenticate for how to acquire a token.

curl
Python

The following example shows how to get KPI data using curl.

curl -X GET \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://${SBCIP}/rest/v1.2/statistics/kpis?type=sysMemoryUtil"

The following example shows how to get KPI data using Python.

import requests
headers = { "Accept":"application/xml", "Authorization":"Bearer " + token }
url  = "https://" + sbcip + "/rest/v1.2/statistics/kpis?type=sysMemoryUtil"
resp = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

Example of the Response Body

The following example shows the contents of the response body in XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
