New in v1.1.3

• Support for Events API v3.1, which includes the acknowledgeEvent(event) API and support for adding include_acknowledged: [bool] to query in getEvents(query)

Quickstart

Refer to the Test.js file for a full examination of consuming the SDK. The SDK can be initialized and instantiated rather quickly:

// start the environment
$ npm install cloudgenix
$ node

// include the SDK
> CgSdk = require("cloudgenix");
[Function: CloudGenixSdk]

// create default success and failure handlers for enumeration
> function success(result) { console.log("Success: " + result); };
undefined
> function failure(err) { console.log("Error: " + err); };
undefined 

// initialize the SDK and login
// email, password, staticToken, debug
> sdk = new CgSdk("[email protected]", "[email protected]", null, false);
> sdk.login().then(success, failure);

// perform your first API call
> sdk.getSites().then(success, failure); 
> Data: {"_etag":0,"_content_length":"3173","_schema":0,"_created_on_utc":0,"_updated_on_utc":0,"_status_code":"200","_request_id":"1513104977242013899996721814543863209018","count":5,"items":[{"id":"14124967418110176", ...

// some APIs allow you to retrieve an object by its ID
> sdk.getSites("[site_id]").then(success, failure);

Queries

Queries must be constructed manually prior to calling APIs for flows, top N, events, or metrics data. Refer to the developer documentation for the structure for queries required for each different type.

topnQuery = {};
topnQuery["topn_basis"] = "traffic_volume";
topnQuery["top_n"] = { "type": "app", "limit": 10 };
topnQuery["filter"] = { "site": [ "[site_id]" ] };
topnQuery["start_time"] = "2017-12-01T00:00:00.000Z";
topnQuery["end_time"] = "2017-12-07T00:00:00.000Z";
sdk.getTopN(topnQuery, cb);

Execution in the Browser

We have tested the SDK with Browserify (http://browserify.org/) and it worked well.
