Hello everyone,

I'm working with Yahoo on a project that involves monitoring power data for a large number of PDUs—more than 1000—every hour. We've hit a snag, though. The API we're using has a daily limit of 1000 calls.

Here's the current API we're using:

bashCopy code

curl -s -X GET "https://api.equinix.com/power/v1/current?accountNo=${EQUINIX_ACCOUNT_NUMBER}&ibx=${EQUINIX_IBX}&levelType=CIRCUIT&levelValue=${LEVELVALUE}"

I've tried adding multiple values to "levelValue," but it's not working as expected.

The challenge is that we have to check so many PDUs every hour that making a single call per PDU isn't practical. If we go that route, we'll hit the API limit in just one hour.

I found an alternative approach on the forum:

bashCopy code

curl -s -X POST "https://api.equinix.com/power/v1/current" -H "content-type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer ${1}" -d '{ "accountNo": "'${2}'", "ibx": "'${3}'", "levelType": "circuit" }'

This method provides data for all PDUs in a single response. However, the "levelValue" returned varies:

In the original API call: "levelValue": "DB3:280355"

In the alternative API call: "levelValue": "DB3:DT-340276"

While "DB3:280355" aligns with our PDU naming scheme and is visible in reports, "DB3:DT-340276" doesn't show up in any reports, including SmartViews generated reports.

I'd appreciate your insights and suggestions. If you've faced similar challenges or have recommendations, please share.

hello 

When i try to Get a list of all the alarms, the response of my quey is :

GET : https://api.equinix.com/alarm/v1/smartview/alarms?accountNo=XXXX&limit=10

Output:

{

"code": 3005,

"message": "3005 : INVALID_SESSION_ENTITLEMENT",

"uid": null

}

why i have this problem ?

Hi,

I've been doing POST /power/v1/current for levelType of 'cabinet' for awhile now. But every once in a while (6 hours - 24 hours), the endpoint would return me with an error ECONNRESET. I've checked online and it states that this error usually means that connection on the other end (Equinix) got closed.

Here's a list of APIs my application is executing every now and then:

• GET /alarm/v1/smartview/alarms
• GET /environment/v1/listCurrent for levelType of 'ibx'
• POST /power/v1/current for levelType of 'ibx'
• POST /power/v1/current for levelType of 'cabinet'

And only the mentioned endpoint is receiving this error.

Currently, I've set the timeout to 300s for the request as the response from you guys is pretty huge.

Did you have or plan to have a playground (or a pre production env for your customer) ?

When I create a new app I have this message for the playground creation : "Sandbox (Available only for ECX V3 and ECP V1 APIs)"

Regards,

Can we get Power Data for multiple circuits of Cabinet using below API.

- GET /Power/v1/current

For GET power/v1/current API - we are getting   "type": "ERROR", "statuscode": "4000", "msg": "INTERNAL_ERROR".

Hi,

I'd like to check a few things regarding the Alarms API.

• How are we supposed to treat the Severity being return by the API?
  • With severity levels of Low, High, Warning, Urgent (and possibly more?), what are we supposed to interpret from these values?
  • What is the difference between the levels?
  • At which level(s) must immediate action be taken?
• How can we map the different alarm types and classifications, to the Electrical/Mechanical Alarms guide provided?
  • We'd like to link up the different active alarms that we get from the API reply to the different categories in our application to indicate the severity of the different categories of assets in our datacenter

For /alarm/v1/smartview/alarms,
it shows that the default value for limit is 0.
However, it is not the case as it shows all.
When I manually set as 0, no record is shown.
 

I'm having error code S1003, saying that my account has been locked. What happened and needs to be done?

For same user and account, I am getting Error for different IBX with status code 3001 and message Permission Denied

1. GET /alarm/v1/smartview/alarms have a date range variable but it's still nowhere to be found

2. GET /alarm/v1/smartview/alarms doesn't show the affected customer assets like it is shown in the IBX Smartview web interface.

3. GET /alarm/v1/smartview/confusion between IBX Smartview web interface and API.

Are there any streaming capabilities for environmental statistics? If yes, where do I find the details?

I do not see any documentation related to the API Integration? Where can I find it?
