Get Agents by Type for a Project

Get all agents of a specified type (i.e. Monitoring, Backup, or Automation) for a group.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

Base URL: https://{OPSMANAGER-HOST}:{PORT}/api/public/v1.0

Resource

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/agents/{TYPE}

Request Path Parameters

Name Type Description
GROUP-ID string Unique identifier of the project that owns the Agent API Key.
TYPE string

The agent type to retrieve. TYPE can be one of the following values:

  • MONITORING
  • BACKUP
  • AUTOMATION

Request Query Parameters

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Ops Manager API resources. These are all optional.

Name Type Description Default
pageNum integer Page number (1-based). 1
itemsPerPage integer Maximum number of items to return, up to a maximum of 100. 100
pretty boolean Indicates whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format. false
envelope boolean

Indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return a list of results, the results object is an envelope. Ops Manager adds the status field to the response body.

false

Request Body Parameters

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

Response

stateName string

The current state of the agent. stateName can return the following values:

  • ACTIVE: the agent is active and operating
  • STANDBY: the agent is on standby
  • NO_PROCESSES: the agent is not managing, monitoring, or backing up any processes.
pingCount number Only applicable to Monitoring agents. The number of pings that the Monitoring agent has sent to the hostname URL.
