DataStax Agent API example curl commands
Examples
Use the DataStax Agent API with cURL commands to directly hit an agent for useful information when troubleshooting an issue. Check the size of a diagnostic file before downloading. Determine the root cause of connection issues.
The location of the opscenterd.log file depends on the type of installation:
-
Package installations: /var/log/opscenter/opscenterd.log
-
Tarball installations: install_location/log/opscenterd.log
Some useful curl commands:
-
curl "http://agentIP:61621/v1/check-diagnostics-size"before getting diagnostics, which can take a substantial amount of time usingcurl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' 'http://localhost:61621/v1/diagnostics'. -
If you see connection-status failed messages in the
opscenterd.log, get more details usingcurl "http://54.152.37.135:61621/v1/connection-status" | json_pp(piped toJSON pretty print):
$ curl "http://54.152.37.135:61621/connection-status" | json_pp
