Re: One pmwebapi against multiple pcp running hosts

[Dev Priya <devpriya00@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am doing it exactly the way you told below - context creation followed by querying for each host under their own context. I ran pmwebapi in verbose mode and noticed that when I create a context for the host on which pmwebapi is running I get a context creation message but for other hosts I am getting context creation failed and on the receiver side I get an empty message.

I verified it by manually CURLing the url too. Even in verbose mode the output is too less to find out why the context creation might have failed. Is there a way to increase the verbosity of the logs even further?

Thanks,

Dev

It should work.  Each pmwebapi context# maps to a separate PMAPI-level
context, each of which can connect to different
hosts/archives/whatever.  Make sure you use

/pmapi/context?hostname=HOST1 => /pmapi/context#1/
/pmapi/context?hostname=HOST2 => /pmapi/context#2/

consistently thereafter.
