Issue/Introduction

The following is the curl command that can be used from the command line to pull the Telemetry data from Spectrum.

Environment

Component: SpectroSERVER database

Resolution

The following is a template for the curl command.

curl -o spectrum.txt -sku <USER>:<PASSWD> <HTTP/S>://<HOSTNAME/IP>:<PORT>/spectrum/restful/telemetry/usageTelemetry

Using the above template, replace:

<USER> with a valid Spectrum user
<PASSWD> with the password for the Spectrum user used above
<HTTP/S> with either http or https depending on the <PORT>
<HOSTNAME/IP> with the hostname or ip address of the OneClick system

After running this command, it should create a file called "spectrum.txt" in the directory where the command was run. The following is an example of the output:

cat spectrum.txt
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><UsageTelemetry xmlns="http://www.ca.com/spectrum/restful/schema/response"><UsageTelemetry><ItemType>Standard Device</ItemType><MaxPortCount>200</MaxPortCount><ItemCount>5</ItemCount><Timestamp>1715621469</Timestamp></UsageTelemetry></UsageTelemetry>
