Hi experts,

Today I want to share with you a way to produce alert notifications for your APIs deployed in SAP API Management using CPI.

Example of alert notification sent via email:


For this you can use the same OData Service used by the Analytics view in SAP API Management called "Results":


OData Service definition:

So using this OData Service you can get the necessary data to generate the alert notifications, for example you want to get the errors in a period of time:

Request:

https://prodapiportalapimgmtpr-<sub-account>.hana.ondemand.com/apiportal/plugins/1.0/Results.svc/Results?$select=error&$filter=(period_year eq 2021 and period_month eq 1 and period_day eq 1 and period_hour eq 0 and period_minute eq 0 ) and (period_year eq 2021 and period_month eq 1 and period_day eq 10 and period_hour eq 0 and period_minute eq 0 )&$format=json

Response:
{

    "d": {

        "results": [

            {

                "__metadata": {

                    "id": "https://prodapiportalapimgmtpr-<sub-account>.hana.ondemand.com:443/apiportal/plugins/1.0/Results.svc/Results('1')",

                    "uri": "https://prodapiportalapimgmtpr-<sub-account>.hana.ondemand.com:443/apiportal/plugins/1.0/Results.svc/Results('1')",

                    "type": "workspace.ResultsType"

                },

                "error": "7"

            }

        ]

    }

}

Based in the same concept you can adjust the "$select" & "$filter" parameters to build your custom alert notification and send it from CPI:


 

Enjoy it 😉

 

Kind Regards.
