CONFIDENTIAL | Subject to Integration Partner Program Agreement

The information in this documentation for API for Server Visibility Enabled Machine Agents is AppDynamics confidential information and subject to the Integration Partner Program Agreement between you and AppDynamics.

The scope of this article is to briefly describe the API used to fetch the underlying server or container details monitored by machine agents with server visibility enabled.

About the API

This API is accessible to any user with the VIEW_SIM permission.

HTTP method

Path

Query Params

Accessible to user with only VIEW_SIM permission?

GET

/controller/sim/v2/user/machines

appIds, tierIds, nodeIds, format, tags, types, offset, limit

Yes

Query Params

Parameter

Description

Data Type

Default

Required

appIds

Application IDs as provided in the Application Model APIs documentation

integer

No

Maybe*

tierIds

Tier ids as provided in the Tier Model APIs documentation

*If requesting information for a tier, appids is also required

integer

No

Maybe*

nodeIds

Node IDs as provided in the Node Model APIs documentation

*If requesting information for a node, appids and tierids are both required

integer

No

No

format

tags

This is a Map of String to a Set of Strings. The key of the map is the tagKey and the Value corresponding to it is the Set of tagValues.

The value can be an empty set also, That will filter the results based on the presence of tagKey. Example values:

"tags": { "tagKey":[] }

"tags": { "tagKey":["tagValue1"]}

"tags": { "tagKey":["tagValue1", "tagValue2"]}

  

No

No

types

This is the Set of type of machines. The possible values for this field can be combination of following: "PHYSICAL", "CONTAINER_AWARE", "CONTAINER"

  • types=CONTAINER
    if the APM agent is running inside a container, returns information about the container(s) of the requested appids, tierids, nodeids
  • types=CONTAINER_AWARE
    returns information about the SIM agent running on the same host as the requested appids, tierids, nodeids
  • types=PHYSICAL
    if the SIM agent is running on the OS (and not in a container)

string

No

No

offset

Offset for pagination

integer

0

No

limit

Controls the size of the response.

integer

100

No

Sample Requests and Responses

Following, see two different sample requests and responses:
