sum,count etc. are missing in the AppDynamics Python API client.get_metric method output

CommunityUser — Thu, 22 Jun 2017 15:01:21 GMT

Hi ,
When I am invoking a REST URI from the browser using an URL like the following 
http://<IP>:<PORT>/controller/rest/applications/4/metric-data?metric-path=Overall%20Application%20Performance%7CNumber%20of%20Very%20Slow%20Calls&time-range-type=BEFORE_NOW&duration-in-mins=60&rollup=true
I am getting the output like the following

<metric-datas>

<metric-data>

Overall Application Performance|Number of Very Slow Calls

</metricPath>

<metricName>BTM|Application Summary|Number of Very Slow Calls</metricName>

<metric-value>

<startTimeInMillis>1498138740000</startTimeInMillis>
<value>7</value>
<min>0</min>
<max>0</max>
<current>0</current>
<sum>7</sum>
<count>17</count>
<standardDeviation>0.0</standardDeviation>
<occurrences>0</occurrences>
<useRange>false</useRange>

</metric-value>

</metricValues>

</metric-data>

</metric-datas>

But when I am making the call using appdynamics python API using the following code

from appd.request import AppDynamicsClient
client = AppDynamicsClient("<URL>", "<USERID>", "<PASSWD>")
metrics = client.get_metrics('Overall Application Performance|Number of Very Slow Calls',4,'BEFORE_NOW',60,True)
print 'metrics details ',metrics.__dict__

I am getting response like the following

metrics details {'data': [<MetricDataSingle: _frequency=u'ONE_MIN', values=[<MetricValue: current=0, max=0, start_time_ms=1498139220000L, value=12, min=0>], path=u'Overall Application Performance|Number of Very Slow Calls'>]}

Here attributes like sum,count,standardDeviation,occurrences etc are missing in the python API output .

I am new to python ,so may miss something here .

Please let me know if anybody has any idea on this .

Hi,

Unfortunately i could not locate any internal docs or options for this get specific details, we suggest to use rest api for missing details

Hi ,
I am trying to do the same but one strange thing noticed there .
If I write a sample code using the python client

from appd.request import AppDynamicsClient
c = AppDynamicsClient('URL','group','appd@123')
for app in c.get_applications():
print app.id, app.name

It works fine .

But if I do a simple call like the following

import requests
usr =<uid>
pwd =<pwd>
url ='http://10.201.51.40:8090/controller/rest/applications?output=JSON'
response = requests.get(url,auth=(usr,pwd))
print 'response',response

I get the following response

response <Response [401]>

Am I doing anything wrong here ?
