Overview

Use this API to invoke and retrieve AutoSupport messages from the nodes in the cluster.

This API supports POST and GET calls. Use a POST call to invoke AutoSupport and a GET call to retrieve AutoSupport messages.

Examples

Invoking an AutoSupport on all nodes in the cluster

The following example invokes an AutoSupport on every node in the cluster. Note that AutoSupport is invoked on all nodes in the cluster if the node parameter is omitted. Also, note that the subject line is the same when invoking on all nodes.

By default, the response is an empty object. If return_records=true is passed in the request, the response includes information about the node and the index of the invoked AutoSupport message.

# The API:
POST /support/autosupport/messages

# The call:
curl -X POST "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/support/autosupport/messages?return_records=true" -H "accept: application/hal+json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"message\": \"test_msg\", \"type\": \"all\"}"

Invoking an AutoSupport on a single node

The following examples invoke an AutoSupport on a single node in the cluster. Note that AutoSupport is invoked on all nodes in the cluster if the node parameter is omitted. You can specify the node-name with either node or node.name parameter. You can also specify UUID of the node with the node.uuid parameter.

By default, the response is an empty object. If return_records=true is passed in the request, the response includes information about the node and the index of the invoked AutoSupport message.

# The API:
POST /support/autosupport/messages

# The call:
curl -X POST "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/support/autosupport/messages?return_records=true" -H "accept: application/hal+json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"message\": \"test_msg\", \"type\": \"test\", \"node\": { \"name\": \"node1\" }}"

Retrieving AutoSupport messages from all nodes in the cluster

The following example retrieves AutoSupport messages from every node in the cluster. Note that if the fields=* parameter is not specified, only node, index, and destination fields are returned. Filters can be added on the fields to limit the results.

# The API:
GET /support/autosupport/messages

# The call:
curl -X GET "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/support/autosupport/messages?fields=*&return_timeout=15" -H "accept: application/hal+json"

# The response:
200 OK

Retrieving AutoSupport messages from a specific node and has 'sent_successful' state

The following example retrieves AutoSupport messages from a specific node in the cluster. Note that if the fields=* parameter is not specified, only node, index, and destination fields are returned. This example uses a filter on the node.name and state fields. You can add filters to any fields in the response.

# The API:
GET /support/autosupport/messages

# The call:
curl -X GET "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/support/autosupport/messages?node.name=node1&state=sent_successful&fields=*&return_timeout=15" -H "accept: application/hal+json"

# The response:
200 OK
