Events and Status Service

This chapter describes the Events and Status service, which returns alarm information, device status, and disk status.

For details about specific alarms, refer to the Alarm Book file that is available on the Cisco WAAS Software Download website.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Events and Status Service Syntax

This section contains the following topics:

Events and Status Informational URLs

This section provides informational URLs for the Events and Status service.

Alarm Status URLs:

  • Service URL— https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/AlarmStatus
  • WSDL URL— https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/AlarmStatus?wsdl

Device Status URLs:

  • Service URL— https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/DeviceStatus
  • WSDL URL— https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/DeviceStatus?wsdl

Events and Status URLs:

  • To obtain a description of all the operations and parameters for the AlarmStatus or the DeviceStatus Web Service, submit a URL to the service with the suffix ?wsdl as follows:

https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/AlarmStatus?wsdl

or

https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/DeviceStatus?wsdl

  • To obtain management information using the Central Manager monitoring API, first call the service by using the service URL for this service as follows:

https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/AlarmStatus

or

https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/DeviceStatus

Next, submit a SOAP request written in an XML format to retrieve the information.
