GET All Agents by Rest API

CommunityUser — Fri, 03 May 2019 15:18:41 GMT

Is there a Rest API that lists all the agents running in the controller? (Mainly the machine agents.)

Can I just see the agents by the nodes?

yes, take a look at this link.

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/AppDynamics+APIs

I use Postman with Basic Auth (my login details) to get the info, but you can build a Python or Java client to do it also.

Hello Thomas, I am making use of these APIs, however, I have not found any that I can see the agents in use or a list of them that are in use by the controller. The limit I found was to access each node. But that would exclude me from the machine agents.

Thanks

after you access the node and get the nodeid you can execute this rest call:

https://<your-appd-controller>/controller/rest/applications/<nodeid>/nodes

In the output you get a description of the nodes and there is a field

<machineAgentPresent>false</machineAgentPresent>

that tells you if there is a machine agent on that node.

But it doesn't give you any more details on the machineagent than whether or not it is installed and reporting into the controller.
