using API to pull Policy information

Casey_Root — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 21:21:26 GMT

I am trying to pull information from AppD using selective CURL information for audit purposes (versus pulling a huge Dexter report). I have referenced the API docs on policy details (Policy API (appdynamics.com) however the information I am after is specifically what health rules are in scope for the particular policy. As part of the audit, we are checking to make sure a policy is in place and enabled but policies can cover multiple health rules so need a way to get that detail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated:

Hi @Casey.Root ,

Thank you for posting to the community.

Although it may not be possible to get the information you need by just 1 API, you may be able to obtain the data by combining results of several APIs.

Retrieve a list of Policies associated with an Application API
- ->Get the ids of policies for an application
Retrieve Details of a Specified Policy API
- ->Get the Health Rule Scope for the policy
Retrieve a list of Health Rules for an Application API
- ->Get the ids of health rules for an application
Retrieve Details of a Specified Health Rule
- ->Get the details for the health rule

See the page below for HealthRule API.

Best Regards,

Hiroki

Thanks so much for the quick response. Let me review the link you provided and see if I can pull the information from the multiple API calls and correlate to get the info I need. Thanks again.
