Summary


GET /api/v1/elements/{id}/metrics

Lists all metrics visible to the authenticated user account. Using the standard API format, the metrics task can be called against one Element at a time, based on ID:

GET https://youruptime/api/v1/elements/<id>/metrics/<metric>

Multiple Elements can first be filtered by the date and time of the results returned based on start and end timestamp:

GET https://youruptime/api/v1/elements/<id>/metrics/<metric>?StartDateTime=<startdatetime>&EndDateTime=<enddatetime>

Either or both StartDateTime and EndDateTime can be included. If both are included, only data points between and equal to the supplied datetimes are included. If only StartDateTime is included, only values from that point forward are included. If only EndDateTime is included, only values prior to and including are included.

Arguments

The following arguments may be passed on the call to the API:

FieldRequiredDescription
metricTypeYesThe type of metrics to return: 2 = Int; 3 = Decimal; 4 = String.
startDateTimeNoThe start time of the period for the desired metrics in the 'ddMMyyyyHHmmss' format.
endDateTimeNoThe end time of the period for the desired metrics in the 'ddMMyyyyHHmmss' format.

Returned Fields

For the returned service monitor, the following fields are provided:

FieldTypeDescription
metricDataArrayAn array listing all retained metrics for the given service monitor (see Metric Data Array below for more detail).

Metric Data Array

The metric data array returns the following attributes for each retained metric grouped by the name of the metric:

FieldTypeDescription
dataTimeString - Date TimeThe data and time when the metric was collected. 
valueInteger, Decimal, or StringThe metric value.
