Software Development Kit (SDK) and API Discussions
Hi! All,
I am writing a program to collect netapp information. When I try to find a way to collect the event, problem raised.
I would like to list the events from my UI but I cannot found sample codes to it. All I knew is accessing ems command in console, listing the events.
Is there a way to do it in Java using the API? Thanks!

Are you using DATA ONTAP or OnCommand? which version?

Thanks for your reply, I am using netapp-manageability-sdk-4.1 and using ontap simulator 7.3.6.

Raymond,
I dont have a very clear understanding of your question. But if you are looking to invoke an ems event from the Java API, then the API to be used would be ems-invoke.
Sample Code, taken from ZEDI (which can help automatically generate code) :
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
NaServer s = new NaServer("<IP>", 1 , 15);
s.setServerType(NaServer.SERVER_TYPE_FILER);
s.setTransportType(NaServer.TRANSPORT_TYPE_HTTPS);
s.setPort(443);
s.setStyle(NaServer.STYLE_LOGIN_PASSWORD);
s.setAdminUser("user", "<password>");
NaElement api = new NaElement("ems-invoke");
api.addNewChild("event-id","<event-id>");
api.addNewChild("event-version","<event-version>");
NaElement xi = new NaElement("params");
api.addNewChild(xi);
xi.addNewChild("param","<param>");
api.addNewChild("severity","<severity>");
api.addNewChild("snmp","<snmp>");
api.addNewChild("syslog","<syslog>");
NaElement xo = s.invokeElem(api);
System.out.println(xo.toPrettyString(""));
} catch (NaException e) {
handleException(e);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
handleException(e);
} catch (IOException e) {
handleException(e);
}
Let me know your query more descriptively incase I'm off track.

Thanks for your reply again. I have moved the sdk to version 5.0 and API to 8.1 (using manageontap-5.0.jar and ontap-api-8.1.jar).
I think the content I want to collect like this, just not know the API can do this or not and how.

Do you have a cluster mode setup or 7-mode?
If its Cluster Mode then the API you are looking for is "ems-status-get".
I think I haven't setup cluster or 7-mode. What can I do if not using those setup to get the event information?
Your setup would be running as 7-mode or cluster-mode. NMSDK APIs are different for each of these modes running on the filer or simulator that you have.
Also if you're working with events, OnCommand is a great NetApp Manageability product that can help you.http://www.netapp.com/in/products/management-software/oncommand/oncommand-overview-in.html. It will help you automate your management tasks.
Thanks for the link, I am going to read through it.
