IN PROGRESS
Northbound Interface (NBI) - is a software interface for InfiMONITOR, acts as EMS (Element Management System), integration with the higher-level NMS (Network Management System). Thus, NBI allows to perform integration to the existing monitoring infrastructure.
NOTE
Integration with InfiMONITOR is performed through software. For more detailed information please refer to the documentation of your NMS.
REST API is used for Northbound interface implementation, through which the following data can be obtained from InfiMONITOR:
- Lists of:
- Links - represented as hosts, interfaces and vectors. Vector is a part of link acting in one direction. Each link consists of two vectors for up and down streams.
- Hosts - represented as hosts name and UUID.
- Interfaces - as interfaces name, UUID and IP-address.
- Vectors - as UUID and link type.
- Events - generated on host in accordance with the rule.
- The current parameters values obtained during the last polling cycle:
- Hosts.
- Interfaces.
- Vectors.
- Parameters values for the specified time period:
- Hosts.
- Interfaces.
- Vectors.
In order to obtain the link to the NBI go to the section "Settings" → "System" → "Integrations". For authorization use the access key in "API key".
Find out more about REST API structure through the link above. Here you can manually execute queries for which you need to authorize with "API key".
