User List and Ip List for Monitoring in SoftLayer

Question

I got questions regarding Monitoring in Softlayer. How can I get IP Address List to add ? There are more IPs than primary ips. Is there API to get IPs for monitoring?

How can i get User List to notify ? The code I used brings no user.

    List<Agent> agentList = guest.getMonitoringAgents();

    for (Agent agent : agentList) {

        List<Customer> custList = agent.asService(client).getEligibleAlarmSubscibers();

}

Answer 1

To get Ip Address list to add, you can try the following methods:

• For Virtual Guest:
  • SoftLayer_Network_Monitor::getIpAddressesByVirtualGuest
• For Hardware:
  • SoftLayer_Network_Monitor::getIpAddressesByHardware

[Updated] Here an example to get ip addresses by hardware

package com.softlayer.api.NetworkMonitor;

import com.softlayer.api.ApiClient;
import com.softlayer.api.RestApiClient;
import com.softlayer.api.service.Hardware;
import com.softlayer.api.service.network.Monitor;
import com.softlayer.api.service.network.subnet.IpAddress;

/**

public class GetIpAddressesByHardware {
    /**
     * This is the constructor, is used to Get Ip Addresses By Hardware
     */
    public GetIpAddressesByHardware() {
        // Declare your SoftLayer username and apiKey
        String username = "set me";
        String apiKey = "set me";

        // Define Hardware identifier
        Long hardwareId = new Long(92862);

        // Create client
        ApiClient client = new RestApiClient().withCredentials(username, apiKey);

       Monitor.Service monitorService = Monitor.service(client);

        Hardware hardware = new Hardware();
        hardware.setId(hardwareId);
        try {
            for(IpAddress ipAddress : monitorService.getIpAddressesByHardware(hardware, ""))
            {
                System.out.println("Ip Address: " + ipAddress.getIpAddress());
            }


        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Error: " + e);
        }
    }

    /**
     * This is the main method which makes use of GetIpAddressesByHardware method.
     *
     * @param args
     * @return Nothing
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new GetIpAddressesByHardware();
    }


}

Regarding to: How can i get User List to notify ?

The following methods will help with that:

• For Hardware:
  • SoftLayer_Hardware_Server::getUsers
• For Virtual Guest:
  • SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest::getUsers

[Updated] Here an script using SoftLayer_Hardware_Server::getUsers

package com.softlayer.api.HardwareServer;

import com.softlayer.api.ApiClient;
import com.softlayer.api.RestApiClient;
import com.softlayer.api.service.hardware.Server;
import com.softlayer.api.service.user.Customer;

/**

public class GetUsers {
    /**
     * This is the constructor, is used to Get Users from hardware
     */
    public GetUsers() {
        // Declare your SoftLayer username and apiKey
        String username = "set me";
        String apiKey = "set me";

        // Define Hardware identifier
        Long hardwareId = new Long(92862);

        // Create client
        ApiClient client = new RestApiClient().withCredentials(username, apiKey);

        Server.Service serverService = Server.service(client, hardwareId);
        try {
            for(Customer user : serverService.getUsers())
            {
                System.out.println("Id: " + user.getId());
                System.out.println("User: " + user.getLastName() + ", " + user.getFirstName() + "(" + user.getUsername() + ")");
                System.out.println("----------------------------");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Error: " + e);
        }
    }

    /**
     * This is the main method which makes use of GetUsers method.
