Is there any monitoring tool for REST application(Progress Openedge) that can check:
whether the service is up and running or not
appserver is up and running
hit count and other information for each api resources
error logging
customized reporting(such as sending report in mail)
I saw RESTMAN Utility in the documentation but couldn't find the details as i expected/needed. Can it do the things mentioned above? If yes, how to implement and customize it?
(Progress version: 11.3)

I had a quick look in the current online OpenEdge documentation (which is for 11.7) and found this - https://documentation.progress.com/output/ua/OpenEdge_latest/index.html#page/asadm/using-the-restman-utility.html
There are links to the functions that seem to show what you are looking for.
I haven't used it myself, but it looks like most of the Progress monitoring tools, so the issue you may have is that it provides "all" of the information that you need, but in a format that you have to parse before you get to the specific details you need.
Hope that helps?
As examples where I know that restmgr1 is the server:
Show if Restman Appserver is running
restman -i restmgr1 -q
Show all the deployed REST applications
restman -i restmgr1 -list

I know that every command that I enter in Kubernetes communicate with API.
Now I want to speak to API directly.
How can I find json format for every command?
I suggest using a client library if you talk from a programming language:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/#api-client-libraries
Or use kubectl if you talk from CLI. Hardcoding API schemas will add you a maintenance burden. You're basically reimplementing the client in this case.
Following is the kubernetes API reference docs, you can find equivalent API for each resources here:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.13/
Hope this helps
I wanted to automate API pentesting.
I referred this blog:
https://zaproxy.blogspot.in/2017/06/scanning-apis-with-zap.html
Could you direct me to where I can get a sample zap-options file that we pass with -z option to the zap-api-scan.py script, or where I can get documentation regarding the format in which config values has to be specified in the file? I could not find the official ZAP docs.
See this FAQ https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/wiki/FAQconfigValues - thats the best we've got at the moment I'm afraid
I have a Message Hub instance on Bluemix, and am able to produce / consume messages off it. I was looking for a quick, reasonable way to browse topics / messages to see what's going on. Something along the lines of kafka-topics-ui.
I installed kafka-topics-ui locally, but could not get it to connect to Message Hub. I used the kafka-rest-url value from the MessageHub credentials in the kafka-topics-ui configuration file (env.js), but could not figure out where to provide the API key.
Alternatively, in the Bluemix UI, under Kibana, I can see log entries for creating the topic. Unfortunately, I could not see log entries for messages in the topic (perhaps I'm looking the wrong place or have wrong filters?).
My guess is I'm missing something basic. Is there a way to either:
configure a tool such as kafka-topics-ui to connect to MessageHub,
or,
browse topic messages easily?
Cheers.
According to Using the Kafka REST API on Bluemix you need an additional header in all API requests:
-H "X-Auth-Token: APIKEY"
A quick solution is to edit the topic-ui code and include your token in every request. Another solution would be to use a Chrome plugin that can inject the above header. For a more formal solution, i have opened a ticket on github
I'm trying to run some of the examples from here. They're configured to access localhost:44333 - if I run one of the examples, e.g. JavascriptResourceOwner, the calls to that address are not getting any response. What project/solution should I be running on that port?
You should run IdentityServer in separate solution for example from example
IdentityServer3.AspNetIdentity
All client samples are designed to be run with the core project host:

I found plenty of information and example about triggering TeamCity 8.1.2 backups via the REST API.
But leaving the backup files on the same server is pretty useless for disaster recovery.
So I'm looking for a way to copy over the generated backup file to another location.
My question is about finding the name of the latest available backup file via the REST API -
The Web GUI includes this information under "Last Backup Report" under the "Backup" page of the Server Administration.
I've dug through https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD8/REST+API#RESTAPI-DataBackup and the /httpAuth/app/rest/application.wadl on my server. I didn't find any mention of a way to get this info through the REST API.
I also managed to trigger a backup with a hope that perhaps the response gives this information, but it's not there - the response body is empty and the headers don't include this info.
Right now I intend to fetch the HTML page and extract this information from there, but this feels very hackish and fragile (the structure of the web page could change any time).
Is there a recommended way to get this information automatically?
Thanks.
JetBrains support got back to me with the right answer - I should use a POST method, not GET, even if the request body is empty.
Here is an example of a working request:
curl -u user:password --request POST http://localhost:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/server/backup?includeConfigs=true'&'includeDatabase=true'&'fileName=testBackup
And the response to that contains a plain file name in text: testBackup_20150108_141924.zip
