Accessing Server Load (1min, 5 min and 15 min) along with recent processes (top) via API.

[chetanmadaan]

Hi,

I am working on putting together a google data studio report to monitor a few different servers from one centralized location and I am hoping I would be able connect to the server and somehow get the server load and processes via api?

Is it possible?

Thank You,
Chetan

How about this one?

You would most likely want to use this one instead WHM API 1 Functions - systemloadavg - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation you can also just use top or uptime in a script

Thank You, I'll look into these. For some reason I didn't get the email notification about these responses.

One Quick question, might be obvious to others. The URL needs CPsession id! That's making sure I don't hardcode by username/password into the url. In that case, how may I generate the CP session ID?

Thanks,
Chetan

This will create a user session for you including a cpsession ID WHM API 1 Functions - create_user_session - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Hi,

So, I need a CPsession ID to generate a CP Session ID? Where do I use the username/password?

I think there's some confusion about authentication here on my end and not knowing what you were doing initially. The following goes over the different authentication methods:

The logmein module will allow secure remote logins as well as provide a cpsession ID Guide to API Authentication - Secure Remote Logins - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation
