Data Collection
The monitoring for data collection should use the LiveSP public API. The collection API endpoints are meant to track data collection for all clients, from any data source: Netflow, SNMP, and HTTP APIs (such as Cisco vManage, Nokia Nuage, Fortinet CD-WAN, etc.).
The situation for a subset of customers (because they have resigned their contract, or the provisioning was incorrect, or the customer is a single site generating little to no Netflow packets, …) may distort the collection health diagnostic when we look at the platform on a global scale with API endpoint /api/v1/collect/status.
That is why we recommend not using this global API, but rather select a few (1 to 10) reference customers for each collection type, to monitor them in detail, as explained here.
The documentation on public APIs in LiveSP can be found on:
• the swagger page: https:///rest-doc/index.html
• the complementary documentation: HOWTO_public_rest_api.pdf
