GET All Agents by Rest API

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?

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.

yes, take a look at this link.

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
