Hi,
I'm attempting to use the API to extract some monitoring data about VM's. I'm interested in getting the allocated space in a datastore for each VM.
I can get the required stat for each datastore by first listing the statkeys for the VM, then running the query below for each statkey that matches config|hardware:*|disk_Space
suite-api/api/resources/stats/query
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><ops:stat-query xmlns:ops="http://webservice.vmware.com/vRealizeOpsMgr/1.0/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <ops:resourceId>***</ops:resourceId> <ops:statKey>config|hardware:3351|disk_Space</ops:statKey> <ops:rollUpType>AVG</ops:rollUpType> <ops:intervalType>DAYS</ops:intervalType> <ops:intervalQuantifier>4</ops:intervalQuantifier> <ops:dt>false</ops:dt> <ops:metrics>false</ops:metrics> <ops:currentOnly>false</ops:currentOnly> <ops:begin>1515369600000</ops:begin> <ops:end>1515624194000</ops:end></ops:stat-query>
I get a response back like this with the stats that I need:
<ops:stat><ops:timestamps>1515686399999</ops:timestamps><ops:statKey><ops:key>config|hardware:3351|disk_Space</ops:key></ops:statKey><ops:rollUpType>AVG</ops:rollUpType><ops:intervalUnit><ops:quantifier>4</ops:quantifier><ops:intervalType>DAYS</ops:intervalType></ops:intervalUnit><ops:data>60.0</ops:data></ops:stat>
The issue I am facing is how do I resolve the statkey with instance, eg 3351 back to the datastore resource, or even just its name? This happens in the UI, but I cannot figure out where the reference is
