The following Python script acknowledges the Collector down alert for Collector 165 in api.logicmonitor.com, and leaves a 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
hmac = hmac.new(AccessKey,msg=requestVars,digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()

signature = base64.b64encode(hmac)

#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + signature + ':' + 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
