If you want to automate standard views creation or maintenance, you may use the Sipmon MAP extension API.

Views created using the API are not immediately visible in the desktop client, you need to restart it to see them.

With this API, in beta version, you can create/update/delete standard views. To be able to use the API, the account you use needs to have one of the following privileges:

• Sipmon Admin
• Sipmon MAP admin
• Sipmon MAP view creation rights & editions rights on views you want to update/delete

To access the API documentation, two possibilities:

• You have Sipmon MAP, go to the following URL:

  http(s)://{map_server_url}/Sipmon-studio/api/beta/

• You don't have Sipmon MAP, you can preview the API capabilities here: Online documentation

Because the Sipmon Map API is not trivial to use, here is a scenario that authenticate, then create a map and add an host on it.

1. Authentication

POST : http://{{serverURL}}:8080/Sipmon-studio/api/beta/authentication

Headers {
    Content-Type = application/json
    X-Client-Version = 20.04.0
}

Body {
    "login" : "admin"
    "password" : "denied"
}

In the result, retrieve the {studio-session} (token), you'll need to use it all your API calls. The headers will look like this:

Headers {
    Content-Type = application/json
    X-client-version = 19.10.0
    studio-session = {studio-session}
}

2. Create a Map

POST http://{{serverURL}}:8080/Sipmon-studio/api/beta/maps

Headers {
    Content-Type = application/json
    X-client-version = 19.10.0
    studio-session = {studio-session}
}

Body {
      "label": "My new Map create from API"
   }

Retrieve the ID of the view returned:

3.Open the Map

GET http://{{serverURL}}:8080/Sipmon-studio/api/beta/maps/{viewId}

4.Create a "Shape" (Rectangle) element (not yet on the map)

POST http://{{serverURL}}:8080/Sipmon-studio/api/beta/Sipmon-resources

Body: {
    "label": "FR - Rectangle",
    "abscissa": 120,
    "ordinate": 120,
    "width": 130,
    "height": 53,
    "color": "#0096ff",
    "thickness": 1,
    "borderColor": "#f0f0f0",
    "line": 1,
    "type": "RECTANGLE"
}

Retrieve the element id you just created : {id}

5. Attach the element to the opened view

PUT http://{{serverURL}}:8080/Sipmon-studio/api/beta/views/{viewId}/elements/{id}
