Overview

This document describes the Monasca API v2.0, which supports Monitoring as a Service (MONaaS). The Monasca API provides a RESTful JSON interface for interacting with and managing monitoring related resources.

The API consists of six main resources:

Versions - Provides information about the supported versions of the API.
Metrics - Provides for storage and retrieval of metrics.
Measurements - Operations for querying measurements of metrics.
Statistics - Operations for evaluating statistics of metrics.
Notification Methods - Represents a method, such as email, which can be associated with an alarm via an action. When an alarm is triggered notification methods associated with the alarm are triggered.
Alarms - Provides CRUD operations for alarms and querying the alarm state history.

Before using the API, you must first get a valid auth token from Keystone. All API operations require an auth token specified in the header of the http request.

Metric Name and Dimensions

A metric is uniquely identified by a name and set of dimensions.

Name

Defines the name of a metric. A name is of type string(64).

Dimensions

A dictionary of (key, value) pairs. The key and value are of type string(255). The first character in the dimension is restricted to the following: a-z A-Z 0-9 _ / \ $. However, the next characters may be any character except for the following: ; } { = , & ) ( ". If one of the restricted characters is needed, this can be achieved by double quoting the dimensions.

Alarm Expressions

The alarm expression syntax allows the creation of simple or complex alarms to handle a wide variety of needs. Alarm expressions are evaluated every 60 seconds.

An alarm expression is a boolean equation which if it evaluates to true with the incoming metrics, will then trigger a notification to be sent.

Syntax

At the highest level, you have an expression, which is made up of one or more subexpressions, joined by boolean logic. Parenthesis can be used for separators. In a BNF style format:

expression
    : subexpression
    | '(' expression ')'
    | expression logical_operator expression

The logical_operators are: and (also &&), or (also ||).

Each subexpression is made up of several parts with a couple of options:

subexpression
    : metric relational_operator threshold_value
    | function '(' metric ',' period ')' relational_operator threshold_value ('times' periods)?

The relational_operators are: lt (also <), gt (also >), lte (also <=), gte (also >=).

Threshold values are always in the same units as the metric that they are being compared to.

The first subexpression shows a direct comparison of a metric to a threshold_value, done every 60 seconds.

Simple Example

In this example the metric uniquely identified with the name=cpu_perc and dimension hostname=host.domain.com is compared to the threshold 95.

cpu_perc{hostname=host.domain.com} > 95

More Complex Example

In this example the average of the same metric as in the previous example is evaluated over a 90 second period for 3 times.

avg(cpu_perc{hostname=host.domain.com}, 85) > 90 times 3

Note that period is the number of seconds for the measurement to be done on. They can only be in a multiple of 60. Periods is how many times in a row that this expression must be true before triggering the alarm. Both period and periods are optional and default to 60 and 1 respectively.

Functions work on all metric measurements during the period time frame.

min (returns the minimum of all the values)
max (returns the maximum of all the values)
sum (returns the sum of all the values)
count (returns the number of metric observations)
avg (returns the average of all the values)

The metric is a complex identifier that says the name and optional dimensions.

Compound alarm example

In this example a compound alarm expression is evaluated involving two thresholds.

avg(cpu_perc{hostname=hostname.domain.com}) > 90 or avg(disk_read_ops{hostname=hostname.domain.com, device=vda, 120) > 1000

Common Request Headers

This section documents the common request headers that are used in requests.

Common Http Request Headers

The standard Http request headers that are used in requests.

Content-Type - The Internet media type of the request body. Used with POST and PUT requests. Must be application/json or application/json-patch+json.
Accept - Internet media types that are acceptable in the response. Must be application/json.
X-Requested-With (optional) - Which headers are requested to be allowed. Filled in by browser as part of the CORS protocol.
