Getting a token via the API

If you need to generate tokens programmatically, you can request a token through the API with your username and password. All future requests can then be performed using the returned token.

If the user generating the token has Multi Factor Authentication enabled, you cannot use this method and must create the token via the web UI.

 
post https://api.serverdensity.io/tokens
curl -v https://api.serverdensity.io/tokens/ \
     --data username=llama \
     --data password=securepassword \
     --data tokenName=Llama+script \
     --data accountName=example 
import json
import requests

user_payload = {
    "username": "llama",
    "password": "securepassword",
    "accountName": "example",
    "tokenName": 'Llama script',
}

token_data = requests.post(
    'https://api.serverdensity.io/tokens/',
    headers={
        "content-type": "application/json"
    },
    data=json.dumps(user_payload)

Deleting a token via the API

API tokens can be deleted via the API or through the web UI.

Getting a token via the UI

As well as programmatically, it's also possible to create tokens manually within your user interface.

 
  1. Log in to your Server Density account.
  2. Click your name in the top left, then click Security.
  3. Under API tokens, enter a name for the API application you're building so you can easily recognise it in the future e.g. "Llama Script".
  4. Press Enter and your API token will be shown as a 32 character ID.

Pagination

Our API will not return more than 400 JSON objects in a single request. Therefore we provide pagination to access more data conveniently. For data where pagination is required additional headers will be included in the response.

 
get https://api.serverdensity.io/?perPage=10&page=4
curl -v -X GET "https://api.serverdensity.io/inventory/tags?perPage=10&page=4&token=b97da80a41c4f61bff05975ee51eb1aa"

Creating a device

You can create new devices via the API, useful if you want to automatically provision new devices and start monitoring automatically.

This API method is used by our Puppet manifest, Chef cookbook and installer shell script to automatically create devices during the agent installation.

Listing costs

Get the alerts history items limited by the given filter. If configId filter is set, then the results contains all events for that alert configuration. In any other case, the results are aggregated by itemId and configId including the following derived values:

  • duration the sum of event durations.
  • triggeredCount the number of events for that alert in that item.
  • cost the HumanOps cost in seconds. For more information please check our support docs

When the query is aggregated, the non-derived fields are from the document whose startDate is the newest. In addition to this, an unique id is generated by concatenating the itemId and the configId.

Viewing costs

Get the alerts history items limited by the given filter and the itemId. If configId filter is set, then the results contains all events for that alert configuration. In any other case, the results are aggregated by itemId and configId including the following derived values:

  • duration the sum of event durations.
  • triggeredCount the number of events for that alert in that item.
  • cost the HumanOps cost in seconds. For more information please check our support docs

When the query is aggregated, the non-derived fields are from the document whose startDate is the newest. In addition to this, an unique id is generated by concatenating the itemId and the configId.

Query Params

token
string
required

Your API token

subjectId
string
required

The ID of the subject to get the definitions for, e.g. a device ID.

start
string
required

The UTC date string for the start time range in format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:SSZ e.g. 2013-09-15T00:00:00Z

end
string
required

The UTC date string for the end time range in format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:SSZ e.g. 2013-09-15T23:59:59Z

 

Note that data is stored in a particular retention policy which will return minute and hourly data points depending on the time range. If the query ranges over 1 day, hourly data points will be returned, otherwise you will get a data point for every minute. The 1 minute data points are only stored for the last 5 days.

Parameters: Filter

For device IDs these are the following parameters you can filter at a top level. The filter allows you to return a specific metric (e.g. network traffic), filtered further by a item (e.g. eth0) and sub metric (received MB/s). Please refer to the response given at Available metrics if you need to filter further than that.

Parameter Description
cpuStats CPU statistics
diskUsage Disk usage
ioStats IO statistics
loadAvrg The Average load
memory Amount of memory use
networkTraffic Network bandwidth
processes The amount processes running

Creating a postback

You can use this method to post data back to Server Density without using the agent, for example using your own scripts or to integrate in something custom you are doing. You will still be restricted to posting back once per minute using this method, as you would be using the agent.
