OnCommand Perl API

Greetings all.

My question is relatively simple, is there a API to access OnCommand similar to the NetApp Manageability SDK. I have experience with the current SDK and know that if I talk straight at OnTap I can build most of the functionality I need, but with the alrams and thresholds in OnCommand it is doing most of what I need any way so I was wondering if it is possible to pull these events, alarms and performance stats via an API from OnCommand?

Yes, there is an OnCommand Insight API. You can find details about it here:

https://support.netapp.com/documentation/productlibrary/index.html?productID=60983

Details are in the OnCommand Insight Connect API PDF. We need to put more details in here, when Eng resources are assigned. But, at least it's a start.

There are more methods and classes than those in that 6.3 guide. I have a list of those additions, in case you need them.
