Example
The following Python script acknowledges the Collector down alert for Collector 165 in api.logicmonitor.com, and leaves the comment “upgrading server”.
#!/bin/env python
import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac
#Account Info
AccessId ='YQQ75w6Mxx9zWIeAMq5H'
AccessKey ='f)!Z}%spR=6en+4^s2$t32r-3=NpdQ]2T{-deI)8'
Company = 'api'
#Request Info
httpVerb ='POST'
resourcePath = '/setting/collectors/165/ackdown'
data = '{"comment":"upgrading server"}'
#Construct URL
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath
#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))
#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath
# Construct signature
hmac1 = hmac.new(AccessKey.encode(),msg=requestVars.encode(),digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
# Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + signature.decode() + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth}
#Make request
response = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)
# Print status and body of response
print('Response Status:',response.status_code)
print('Response Body:',response.content)
