RESTful API

InfiniMetrics exposes a public API that supports:

• Getting information about the monitored systems
• Updating system credentials
• For each system, getting the list of monitored entities
• For each monitored entity, getting the collected data in JSON or CSV format
• Getting, creating, updating and deleting annotations

Visit the page  http://<infinimetrics-hostname>/api/rest/ via a browser to try out the API and to read its documentation.
