Alyvix Service API v2

This section describes version 1 of the Alyvix Service API methods in technical detail. These methods are sufficient to allow you to integrate Alyvix Service into any monitoring system, which can then use its own graphical user interface to display data and launch actions.

API calls are based on a root URL of the form https://<alyvix_service_ip>:<port> where a GET, PUT, POST or DELETE call such as GET /license will result in a final URL of the form https://<alyvix_service_ip>:<port>/license.

All return values will be in JSON format. The included example invocations are written in Python.
