Resource Data In SoftLayer

Question

I\'m developing resource graph such as Bandwidth, usage, memory, and cpu in detailed device using SL java client. Data retrieved from api are different from the graph on control

Answer 1

I recommed you to use the http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Metric_Tracking_Object/getSummaryData method, see below an example using the Softlayer Python client to get the bandwidth. In order to get the CPU replace the types variable with this value.

[
{
"keyName": "CPU0",
"summaryType": "max"
}
]

The example:

import SoftLayer
import pprint


def main():
    hardware_id = 120065

    start_date = "2015-10-03"
    end_date = "2015-10-12"

    # []SoftLayer_Container_Metric_Data_Type
    types = [
        {
            "keyName": "PUBLICIN",
            "name": "publicIn",
            "summaryType": "sum"
        },
        {
            "keyName": "PUBLICOUT",
            "name": "publicOut",
            "summaryType": "sum"
        }
    ]

    client = SoftLayer.create_client_from_env()
    hw_object = client.call('SoftLayer_Hardware_Server',
                            'getObject',
                            mask="mask[metricTrackingObjectId]",
                            id=hardware_id)
    result = client.call('SoftLayer_Metric_Tracking_Object',
                         'getSummaryData',
                         start_date,
                         end_date,
                         types,
                         3600,
                         id=hw_object['metricTrackingObjectId'])
    pprint.pprint(result)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
