Is there a query parameters in REST API of vROPS ?

[legioon]

Hi all,

i guess my question is little bit complex and i hope i can explain to you. But, if you have used vrops rest api you'll understand me.

I am using vROPS 6.4 and i am getting some metrics of vm using REST API such as cpu, ram etc... But, i have to get this metrics with Identifier according to REST architecture.. Identifier is unique VM id which provide to me by vOPS.

My question is  ;

I need to know this VM Identifier if i want to get metric of this vm via 3rd party Rest Client or vRealize Orchestrator... But how can i know this identifier before starting to get metrics ? I have look with vRealize Orchestrator and this is not VM ID. I think this identifier is being created by vRops. Is there any query parameters to get this identifier ? What should be the method?

For example ;

GET ​https://vropsipaddress/suite-api/api/resources/

    <ops:resource creationTime="1493013777264" identifier="f36e8b18-a2c8-4518-a9a1-ef7a80db3ad7">  

        <ops:resourceKey>

            <ops:name>Windows2012VM</ops:name>

            <ops:adapterKindKey>VMWARE</ops:adapterKindKey>

            <ops:resourceKindKey>VirtualMachine</ops:resourceKindKey>

            <ops:resourceIdentifiers>

                    ..

                    ..

                    ..

You should be able to get identifier before hand using call like this

https://vrops ip/suite-api/api/resources?name=object name

where object name is name you vms, you will get vrops internal id in responce
