Moo::Roles

This module makes use of the following roles: HTTP::MultiGet::Role, Log::LogMethods and Data::Result::Moo

NonBlocking interfaces

All methods with a prefix of que_xxx are considered non blocking interfaces.

Default Callback arguments:

my $code=sub {
  # 0: this Net::AppDynamics::REST Object
  # 1: id, for internal use
  # 2: Data::Result Final object ( if failed, it will say why it failed )
  # 3: HTTP::Request Last Object|undef
  # 4: HTTP::Response Last Object|undef
  my ($self,$id,$result,$request,$response)=@_;
};

Blocking Interfaces

All interfaces that are prefixed with que_xxx have a corisponding blocking method that is simply the xxx portion of the method name.

Example Non Blocking version of que_list_applicatinos:

my $result->list_applicatinos();

When called without the que context the methods provides the more traditional blocking style inteface. When called in a blocking context only the Data::Result Object is returned.

Application Model API

Listing Applications

  • Blocking context my $result=$self->list_applications

    Returns a Data::Result object, when true it contains the Listing of Applications, when false it contains why it failed.

  • Non Blocking context my $id=$self->que_list_applications($cb)

    Queues a requst to fetch the list of all applications.

    Example Callback:

    my $cb=sub {
      my ($self,$id,$result,$request,$response)=@_;
      # 0 Net::AppDynamics::REST Object
      # 1 Id of the request
      # 2 Data::Result Object
      # 3 HTTP::Request Object
      # 4 HTTP::Response Object
    };

      # 2 Data::Result Object

Walking The entire api

THis method walks all aspects of the appdynamics api and returns a data structure.

The structure of $result->get_data when true contains the following anonymous hash.

Objects are listed by ids

ids: Anonymous hash of ids to object refrerences

# keys used to map names to object ids
applications, business_transactions, tiers, nodes
  Each element contains an anonymous hash of of an array refres
    Each element in the array ref refres back to an ids object.
  • Blocking context my $result=$self->walk_all()

    Reutruns a Data::Result Object

  • Non Blocking context my $id=$self->que_walk_all($cb)

    Queues a request to walk everything.. $cb arguments are different in this caes, $cb is called with the following arguments. Keep in mind this walks every single object in mass and up to 20 requests are run at a time ( by default ), so this can put a strain on your controler if run too often.

    my $cb=sub {
      my ($self,$id,$result,$request,$response,$method,$application)=@_;
      # 0: this Net::AppDynamics::REST Object
      # 1: id, for internal use
      # 2: Data::Result Final object ( if failed, it will say why it failed )
      # 3: HTTP::Request Last Object|undef
      # 4: HTTP::Response Last Object|undef
      # 5: method ( wich method this result set is for ) 
      # 6: application ( undef the method is list_applications )
    };

Alert and Response API

Finding Health rule violations

See: que_health_rule_violations and que_resolve for more information.

  • Blocking Context my $result=$self->find_health_rule_violations($type,$name)

Listing Metrics

Getting Metrics for an Application

  • Non Blocking my $result=$self->que_get_application_metric($cb,$application,,%args);

    Queues a request to fetch a given metric

    Example Callback:

    my $cb=sub {
      my ($self,$id,$result,$request,$response)=@_;
      # 0 Net::AppDynamics::REST Object
      # 1 Id of the request
      # 2 Data::Result Object

    };
  • Blocking my $result=$self->get_application_metric($application,,%args);

    In a blocking context, $result contains the results when true and why it failed when false.

Resolving Objects

Used to resolve tiers, nodes, business_transactions, and applications to thier application's id.

cb:  standard callback
type: String representing the typpe of object to resolve (tiers|nodes|business_transactions|applications);
name: name to be resolved

Uses the internal cache to resolve the object, if the internal cache is out of date or empty the cache will be refreshed.

  • Blocking context my $result=$self->resolve($type,$name);

    Returns a Data::Result object, when true it contains the resolved object.

  • Non Blocking context my $id=$self->que_resolve($cb,$type,$name);

    Example Callback:

    my $cb=sub {
      my ($self,$id,$result,$request,$response)=@_;
      # 0 Net::AppDynamics::REST Object
      # 1 Id of the request
      # 2 Data::Result Object
      # 3 HTTP::Request Object
      # 4 HTTP::Response Object
    };

Internal Caching

The Net::AppDynamics::REST object uses an internal cache for resolving objects. The $forceCacheRefresh is a boolean value, when set to true it forces the cache to refresh reguardless of the age of the cache.

  • Non BLocking context my $result=$self->que_check_cache($cb,$forceCacheRefresh);

    Returns a Data::Result object, when true it contains the cache.

  • BLocking context my $id=$self->que_check_cache($cb,$forceCacheRefresh);

    Queues a cache check. The resolve cache is refreshed if it is too old.

    Example Callback:

    my $cb=sub {
      my ($self,$id,$result,$request,$response)=@_;
      # 0 Net::AppDynamics::REST Object
      # 1 Id of the request
      # 2 Data::Result Object
      # 3 HTTP::Request Object
      # 4 HTTP::Response Object
    };

    # 2 Data::Result Object
    # 3 HTTP::Request Object
    # 4 HTTP::Response Object
  • my $result=$self->setup_token()

    Runs a blocking oatuh request, reutrns a Data::Result object.

  • \&handle_token_setup

    A Hard code ref used to handle setting up of oauth tokens

  • $self->do_oauth_request($req,$cb)

    Handles the added logic for dealing with blocking and non blocking when oauth mode is inabled.
