Extracting Infosight Nimble performance statistics

[JockHowie]

Greetings of the day
Is it possible to extract a list of Recommended Actions as reported in the Infosight Nimble Operational Dashboard web interface using a REST query ( Powershell sorry, not cURL ), PowerShell commandlets or GUI export option ?

Can I access these array- and volume-level performance statistics myself using REST or PowerShell commandlets ?

Hi,

I am afraid we do not have an option to export recommended actions from infosight.

As of now, only infosight wellness is supported. Please refer https://infosight.hpe.com/InfoSight/media/cms/active/public/pubs_HPE_infosight_wellness_spec.pdf

Thanks Subash, I'd appreciate some guidance to accessing the Wellness API

I set up the app access and generated a client key and secret which seemed to work OK for generating the session token - but I must have missed a key detail because I get this error message

Invoke-RestMethod : {"fault":{"faultstring":"Invalid access token","detail":{"errorcode":"oauth.v2.InvalidAccessToken"}}}

from running :
$wellnessUrl = 'https://infosight.hpe.com/apis/wellness/v1/issues'
$header = @{ 'Accept' = 'application/json' ; 'authorization' = "bearer $accessToken" }
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $wellnessUrl -Method Get -Headers @{ 'Authentication' = 'Bearer $accessToken' }

Any thoughts would be much appreciated

I am not quite sure about powershell, however, I just did test in python. I am pasting 2 scripts for your reference
1. To generate access token

import requests

# Your credentials
client_id = '<xxx>'
client_secret = '<xxx>'

url = 'https://infosight.hpe.com/apis/oauth/token'

payload = {
    'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
    'client_id': client_id,
    'client_secret': client_secret
}

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload)

if response.status_code == 200:
    token_info = response.json()
    access_token = token_info.get('access_token')

    with open('access_token.txt', 'w') as file:
        file.write(access_token)

    print(f"Access Token saved to 'access_token.txt'")
else:
    print(f"Failed to get access token. Status Code: {response.status_code}")
    print(response.text)

Then used the generated access token to poll the endpoint 

import requests


wellness_url = 'https://infosight.hpe.com/apis/wellness/v1/issues'


with open('access_token.txt', 'r') as file:
    access_token = file.read().strip()


headers = {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': f'Bearer {access_token}'  
}


response = requests.get(wellness_url, headers=headers)


if response.status_code == 200:

    issues = response.json()
    print("Wellness Issues Data:")
    print(issues)
else:

    print(f"Failed to get wellness issues. Status Code: {response.status_code}")
    print(response.text)

Please let know if it helps

Yes, thanks heaps Subash, when I spotted that the command is case-sensisitve from your Python code and this worked great

$header = @{ 'Accept' = 'application/json' ; 'Authorization' = "Bearer $accessToken" }
