I am trying to create a healthCheck APi for our spring mvc (5.2.1)application in traditional XML config.
I want to capture details like
cpu utilization
memory consumption details
threads in use
database in check
checking for some 3rd party services like smtp,sms service etc
Is there any library that is readily available which provides all these details or I need to implement it in the application.
Thought to use dropwizard metrics but it doesn't give any details except status for built in healthcheck.So is the indigenous way to build this health check API right way?I just want to be sure that I am going on the right path?
PS:we are going to migrate the application to google cloud.Can we use some google analytics ?

I was surfing on internet for solutions and tools related to the API Layer and I find a company (maybe a startup) that is developing an ecosystem that allow to "virtualize the API Layer" (at the moment only in .net Core). It seems they allow to don't code the Api layer, don't write documentation of endpoints, don't writeE2E test (automatically inferred), change behaviour of endpoints at runtime and reuse the entire stack in another project. Do you think is it really possible something like this and useful in the world of API development? thanks
If I understand the question, your wondering about setting up an API layer with just the endpoints, but the endpoints have empty logic in them, right?
If so, then yes its possible to do this with a variety of tools. One tool I use is Postman, which allows you to setup a "skeleton" API you can call for design/testing purposes.
It allows standing up a mock server that hosts your skeleton API, in which any consumer can hook into.
Our ASP.NET Core app logs trace messages to App Insights. We need to be able to query them and filter by some customDimentions. However, I have found 3 APIs and am not sure which one to use:
App Insights REST API
Azure Log Analytics REST API
Azure Data Explorer .NET SDK (Preview)
Firstly, I don't understand the relationships between these options. I thought that App Insights persisted its data to Log Analytics; but if that's the case I would expect to only be able to query through Log Analytics.
Regardless, I just need to know which is the best to use and I wish that documentation were clearer. My instinct says to use the App Insights API, since we only need data from App Insights and not from other sources.
The difference between #1 and #2 is mostly historical and converging.
Application Insights existed as a product before log analytics, and were based on different underlying database technologies
Both Application Insights and Log Analytics converged to use the same underlying database, based on ADX (Azure Data Explorer), and the same exact REST API service to query either. So while your #1 and #2 links are different, they point to effectively the same service backend by the same team, but the pathing/semantics are subtly different where the service looks depending on the inbound request.
both AI and LA introduce the concept of multi-tenancy and a specific set of tables/schema on top of their azure resources. They effectively hide the entire database from you, and make it look like one giant database.
there is now the possibility (suggested) to even have your Application Insights data placed in a Log Analytics Workspace:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/create-workspace-resource
this lets you put the data for multiple AI applications/components into the SAME log analytics workspace, to simplify query across different apps, etc
Think of ADX as any other kind of database offering. If you create an ADX cluster instance, you have to create database, manage schema, manage users, etc. AI and LA do all that for you. So in your question above, the third link to ADX SDK would be used to talk to an ADX cluster/database directly. I don't believe you can use it to directly talk to any AI/LA resources, but there are ways to enable an ADX cluster to query AI/LA data:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/query-monitor-data
And ways to have a LA/AI query also join with an ADX cluster using the adx keyword in your query:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/azure-monitor-data-explorer-proxy
I have a sheets bound google apps script file that is triggered by the installable trigger onFormSubmit(), which was set up by me. The script, therefore, always runs with my data, no matter who fills out the google form which I am collecting data from.
As a part of this script, the Drive advanced API is utilized, and I create and edit teamdrives using this advanced service.
I want to be able to use the Drive Advanced Service, with all of its authentication management and autocomplete features, while using a service account.
I've seen from other questions on this topic that there are libraries for the management and use of service accounts within Google Apps Script, but they require managing authorization tokens and such of the users which the service account acts on behalf of, and using them to access the API. Going this route, I will have to use the HTTP Interface for the Drive API rather than the Advanced Service, which isn't optimal, but still doable.
Is there a way to authorize advanced services such as the Drive API for a service account acting on behalf of a particular user of my G suite organization in my scenario?
Thanks in advance!
I'm new to IBM BPM. I'm trying to create a web service for a class i'm taking but the instructor/site architect is unavailable at the moment.
Is there some way to determine the different types of RESTful calls available at a particular IBM BPM url?
My understanding is, that you would like to see which calls are supported by the IBM BPM REST API, is this correct?
You can discover the calls via the REST API Tester which can be found by the following URL:
http://{host}:{port}/bpmrest-ui
In this web-interface you can see different REST APIs, calls and you can build your own rest services with the provided input forms.

I'm a newbie with ASP.NET Web API and I heard so much about it that, it's the new industry standard and all, I've decided to build a regular hotel management system with it. I created some models and generated controls and created database using code-first migration. It all was tough at the beginning but now I've got hold of the essence. It's Awesome.
Now I'm stuck at the user management level. According to Web API spec there are options to manage access to resources like basic, Forms, integrated Win and OAuth. And also something about 2-legged and 3-legged which I understand are all authentication options which involves another data source or app (may be not the right terms) that will handle the authentication on behalf of the Web API I build.
Since my application is simple (for now), I was thinking is it possible to allow the Web API to include the necessary authentication, for example authenticating (user) and authorizing (role) before giving access to the data, thus seliminating the "LEGGED" dependance but at the same time it is open to allow 2-LEGGED and 3-LEGGED implementation in the future if I wish to.
From what I've seen and read the Web API is not ideal for a system like what I'm developing. Hope I'm wrong coz I find it awesome in terms of a service that can be consumed by other systems.
In my mind the big picture for the system is to allow customersI and third parties to access
hotel information via web and smart phones to check room availability and book rooms
restaurant information ...
hotel events, spa..etc
Please advice, to achieve this, how do I go about implementing authentication and authorization?
