Log Monitoring API v1 - Process groups

The Log Monitoring—Process groups API enables you to automate your log monitoring tasks for the process groups logs.

The following example is a typical sequence of API calls for log analysis.

1. Fetch the list of logs. Make an API call to find out what logs are available for processing.

   As a response you will receive the list of available logs.

2. From the response of the previous call, you know which logs are available. You can start a log analysis job for one of them.

   As a response, you will receive the ID of the job.

3. Now that you have the ID of the analysis job, you can check the status of the job.

   As a response, you will receive the information about the job: the status of the job, timestamp of last status change, any errors that occurred, and a number of processed log entries.

4. When the status of the log analysis job is READY, you can view the content of the log. You have the following options:

   • View the full content of the log
   • View the content filtered by the specified criteria
   • View the top values of the specified log fields

   As a response, you will receive the records of the log.

5. If you have completed your analysis, delete the analysis job. You can also cancel the unfinished job with this call.
