IBM Business Monitor REST event emitter interface

The REST event emitter service provides a public API that you can use to send events that IBM® Business Monitor can process.

The XSD type is a generic XML Schema Definition. The business information that is defined by the XSD definition is received by the API and forwarded to IBM Business Monitor.

Overview

The REST implementation allows for easy-to-use HTTP services that are language- and platform-independent, stateless, scalable, and easily parsed. The service can be invoked by any HTTP client application and defines an expected response in the form of a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object. The JSON format can be easily parsed and consumed by JavaScript and other products, tools, and languages, which allows you greater flexibility in leveraging IBM Business Monitor in your own environment.

This emitter service takes an HTTP POST URI as input. Results are returned in JSON, and any error messages and status indicators are returned in the HTTP response as JSON output.
