Sevone API critical functionalities

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The requested API functionalities will assist us in running multiple processes needed to interact with SevOne, such as bulk device onboarding with connectivity verifications (SNMP & Traceroute), monitoring validations using object rules and policies, scheduling jobs for daily comparisons using the device manager or object manager as a CSV, and more.
The requested functionalities should operate as endpoints within SevOne's API, returning responses in JSON format (except for those specifically requiring CSV format). More detailed information is provided in the attached document, which outlines the seven requested functionalities.

    Can you talk more about what specific tasks you would like to accomplish, and which are most important. It generally helps to focus on one outcome per idea. There's 7 asks in a PPT and no realistic way we could bundle them or prioritize them in a single Epic.

    At a glance it looks like there's a desire for:

    • Device Troubleshooting w/ SNMP Walk & Traceroute - I'd like to add these to DI based troubleshooting workflows in the future. Note: /api/v3/metadata/devices/snmpwalk is already present.

    • CRUD APIs for Object Rules - These are outright missing and we will likely need to implement them soon.

    • APIs to fetch Policy Info - these already exist as /api/v3/policies - Have you tried them? If they don't sufficice we should focus on why and what you want to accomplish.

    • API to get Device List as a CSV - why is this format a requirement vs the JSON given by the API response?

    • API to get Object Manager List as a CSV - same as above.

    If desired, we can set up a call through your CSM. I'm happy to meet and discuss these in greater depth to improve our understanding of what you'd like to accomplish.
