REST API call for OPMS checkpoints

Products

• CA App Synthetic Monitor
• NIMSOFT CLOUD USER EXPERIENCE MONITOR

Issue/Introduction

We have few OPMS servers in our production environment and couple on our DR (disaster recovery site). 

Need the ability to flip all of our monitors currently pointing to our production environment to our DR site in a case of an outage.

Would it be possible to use REST API calls to do that?

Cause

NA

Environment

Release : 10.1

Component : CA APP SYNTHETIC MONITOR (WATCHMOUSE)

Resolution

Use rule_mod to change the location of the desired station for a monitor. 

Then call rule_mod for each monitor that you want to go to the new opms.

Though you must create a script for this and have it running. rule_mod does cost credits, Price: 1 api credit
