API: get power usage

[shloa]

Hi,

Can I get the current power usage per Machine/cabinet, etc. with API?

Hello, is this an IT Advisor question?

ITA's REST api can return MEASURED_PEAK_LOAD per power device (like a PDU or Rack PDU) and items like a rack of course assuming the device has measured data.

A sample API call would look like this... where you'd substitute your server IP or hostname for "<ITA-Server>" and the asset UUID for "<AssetID>"

https://<ITA-Server>/api/v8.1/kpis/latest?asset-id=<AssetID>&type=MEASURED_PEAK_LOAD

Thanks a lot

it's returned values only when I took the roomId as AssetID, but when I take 'id'  of the host it returns an empty answer

In detail, when I run:

(1) https://132.76.78.41/api/v8.1/assets/search?q=cn100

take the id and put it  as AssetID in 

(2)https://132.76.78.41/api/v8.1/kpis/latest?asset-id=7a63...&type=MEASURED_PEAK_LOAD

get nothing.

if I take from first command the roomId and put it as AssetID  in the second command I get detalis 

Is it working with is or only with roomid?

What type of device is cn100?

Power KPI data is not kept of all device types as only some are capable of reporting it.

Hello,

How can one locate a type of a device using just IP via an API? I do not have GUID for thousands of devices and need to check the details like Type and Location in SW, for a report. Is there an API or efficient way that I could use which doesn't use GUID to get a device type and details?
