Maltem Insight Rest API
Overview​
Maltem Insight Performance (MIP) provides solutions to measure performance of web applications and thick clients through custom scenarios. It provides an API to gather metrics and status associated to the end-user experience from various locations.
How it works​
The MIP instance exposes a JSON based RestAPI. Centreon connector uses this endpoint to fetch relevant data about Digital Experience Monitoring Scenarios
Compatibility​
The connector has been tested with MIP v 6.4.90 and its API.
