REST API to retrieve statistics about data imports

I'd like to have a REST API to quickly obtain the statistics of Data imports.

The goal of this is to monitor the process of data load within ILMT with Zabbix/Grafana or other monitoring tools that can gather data calling the proper REST API.

In other works I'd like to have the data appearing in the below row from the import logs:

2022-07-25 12:00:29 (+0:00:22.768) INFO: (ImportThread) DisconnectedScannerProcessingStatistics::printStatistics::STATISTICS: Number of sucessfully processed files: 957. Number of skipped files (newer data available): 216. Number of invalid files: 0. Number of too old files: 0. Number of out of synch files: 0.

  • Time of Import: 2022-07-25 12:00:29

  • Number of sucessfully processed files: 957

  • Number of skipped files (newer data available): 216

  • Number of invalid files: 0

  • Number of too old files: 0

  • Number of out of synch files: 0

It would be much appreciated if we could use an index to navigate through historical data, so for example the [0] index represents the latest import stats (say t0), [1] represent the previous import stats (say t-1) etc etc

Thanks!

    Hi Evan - thanks for your interest in monitoring ILMT health.

    ILMT is a free tool with strategy to be simple to use. For health check monitoring the strategy is to observe certain KPIs/issues which can be currently found on the overview dashboard widgets. Users should make sure that they fix issues there if any occur. Said that we may be implementing API equivalent to these UI widgets, but we currently do not plan to expose in API details from import log which you suggested. For the import status actually the existing API (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=api-rest-data-imports) is what we believe should be satisfactory.

    Import logs contain many more details which could be leveraged, but this would simply make the process of observing ILMT more and more difficult. So, we plan to have the well defined dashboard KPIs around scans and data upload currency as well as capacity data completness and software classification the basis for ILMT status monitoring.

    Thank you again for the suggestion and interest.
