What is Equinix IBX SmartView?

Equinix IBX SmartView is a Data Center Infrastructure Monitoring (DCIM) solution. It allows customers to have, real-time access to environmental and operating information relevant to the IBX footprint as if those cages were all in-house. It provides the ability to get information for the Environmental, Mechanical, Electrical assets and Power draw. The picture below provides a high-level overview of IBX SmartView.

IBX SmartView High-Level Overview

Equinix IBX SmartView is offered to customers via web applications and via REST and Real-time APIs. IBX SmartView API architecture is powered by the DCIM platform.

IBX SmartView

Our SAAS application, that provides unmatched visibility into core infrastructure at the local zone, cage, and cabinet-level. It provides, data that is relevant to customers, presented the same way for all IBX SmartView IBXs globally. It also provides you actionable insight that allows you to react to important events and proactively plan via configurable reports & alerts.

IBX SmartView APIs

Through a comprehensive set of REST Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and supportive real-time APIs for partners as an extension of IBX SmartView, customers have greater flexibility to utilize data through near real-time and pragmatic REST APIs. They can also use IBX SmartView APIs to integrate core IBX SmartView data (environmental, power draw, mechanical and electrical) into third-party monitoring systems.

What are Equinix IBX SmartView APIs?

IBX SmartView APIs allow customers to build real-time dashboards and integrate real-time feeds with their automation systems. These APIs are classified into two categories:

  1. Near real-time APIs
  2. RESTful APIs

Near real-time APIs provide real-time, actionable information for both API and IBX SmartView users. APIs are defined in the form of events and objects. API developers can integrate APIs into their existing applications via secure subscription channels that integrate with multiple clouds. Integrating with near real-time events allows customers to respond to critical updates related to their core infrastructure in near real-time.

REST APIs are ideal for developers looking to build applications that leverage IBX SmartView data. Customers who use REST APIs can seamlessly integrate the data into third-party applications. The APIs allow developers to retrieve data for core infrastructure components such as power draw, environmental and infrastructure assets, as well as, alarms, alerts, and notifications.

Both, REST and Real-time APIs allow developers to interact with Equinix IBX SmartView programmatically to monitor their data center infrastructure. (Refer API reference section or Catalog for more details.) The diagram below presents an overview of the API architecture.

IBX SmartView Rest APIs

The REST APIs provide customers the ability to fetch information about their assets at every IBX location. There are APIs for all the different asset classifications, alerts, and power.

  • Hierarchy API - Provides access to all IBX infrastructure asset details directly supporting a customer's cage, cabinet, or power circuit. Given an IBX, it allows retrieval of the cage, cabinet or circuit information which are deployed at the location.
  • Assets API - Provides visibility into the core mechanical or electrical assets and their operating status, for each customer's IBX footprint. Given an IBX, it allows retrieval of all information about the Equinix assets that are serving the colocation footprint at the location.
  • Power API - Provides the power usage data for the cabinets and circuits. Given an IBX, it allows retrieval of all information about the power assets at the location.
  • Environmental API - Provides access to the environmental and operating information as if those cages were managed in-house. Given an IBX, it allows retrieval of all information about the environmental assets at the location.
  • Alarm API - Provides the ability to get all the alarms that have ever triggered at the various IBX locations.
  • Alert API - Provides the ability to get all the configured push notification alerts. Configurable alerts ensure customers are notified when important events occur.
  • Subscription API - APIs for creating and managing near real-time feed subscriptions.

The REST APIs are useful for getting assets metadata for Equinix assets powering the infrastructure for a given customer. They also provide the ability to get the historical data collected from these assets over a period of time.

IBX SmartView Near Real-Time APIs

The Near-Real-Time streaming APIs, are shown on the right-hand side of the diagram above, allow for streaming the data to an asynchronous channel. This data is collected from various IBX locations. The data that is collected at the different IBX locations, is streamed in near real-time to the subscriber. The data streaming is currently available on Google pub-sub, Amazon Web Services SNS and Microsoft Azure Service Bus channels via subscription.

Streaming data can also be retrieved in a machine native protocol such as SNMP an OPC, via a private async channel. This allows customers to integrate the data streams with their existing on-premise applications. Please reach out to the api-support@equinix.com for more details.

  • Tagpoint updated event - An asset tagpoint value for either was updated/received.
  • Power updated event - A power usage value was updated/received.
  • Environment updated event - An environment value for temperature or humidity was updated/received.
  • Alarm updated event - An alarm was updated/received.
  • Alert updated event - An alert was updated/received.

Developer Platform

The Developer Platform is a platform for accessing all the customer-facing APIs across all Equinix product lines. It allows developers to test drive their APIs using the playground features. It's intuitive and easy to use and allows developers to explore and deep dive into the individual APIs. It provides a preview of any upcoming APIs as well.

How Equinix IBX SmartView APIs work?

Background

When a customer is onboarded, they are provided with user credentials.

The customer must use these credentials to connect to the Equinix Developer Platform to generate a Consumer key and Consumer secret.

The Consumer key and Consumer secret are essential for obtaining access and refresh tokens to authenticate API calls as described in the subsequent section.

Refer Generating Client ID and Client Secret key under Getting Started for instructions on how to generate Consumer key and Consumer secret.

Authorization flow

Step 1 - Request access and refresh token information by calling the Equinix OAuth API (/oauth2/v1/token) with the Consumer key, Consumer secret, and user credentials.

Refer Requesting Access and Refresh tokens under Getting Started for instructions on how to obtain an Authorization Token.

Step 2 - The API gateway makes an OAuth2 call to the identity provider using the submitted credentials.

Step 3 - The identity provider returns an OAuth2Access token to the API gateway.

Step 4 - The API gateway sends back the authorization token details to the client.

REST APIs consumption flow

Step 5 - The customer submits an API request with the obtained authorization token and respective API request payload.

Refer How-to Guide section for instructions on how to call Equinix IBX SmartView APIs to establish connections.

Step 6 - API gateway validates the request and calls the relevant API.

Step 7 - The response is received by the API gateway.

Step 8 - The response is sent back to the client.

Step 9 - Customer accepts the connection and processes the IBX SmartView APIs response.

Real-Time APIs consumption flow

Step 10 - Repeat steps 1 - 9 above to subscribe to a real-time feed.

Refer to Subscriptions APIs for details on how to subscribe to a real-time feed.

How-to Guide section for instructions on how to accept connections using Equinix IBX SmartView APIs.

Step 11 - Create a client to consume the real-time feed.

Refer to IBX SmartView samples for a sample client for consuming real-time feeds.

How-to Guide for IBX SmartView use cases

Learn how to monitor a variety of assets using IBX SmartView APIs!

• Environmental - Monitoring Temperature and Humidity
• Power Draw - Monitoring Power Usage and Caps
• Mechanical - Monitoring Cooling Systems
• Electrical - Monitoring Power Availability

Overall, IBX SmartView supports different categories such as electrical assets, mechanical assets, environmental sensors in our assets. Across these different categories, we have the following capabilities:

  • Using the Assets REST APIs, you can get the asset information that is serving your colocation footprint in a particular IBX. In addition to the asset information, you can get all attributes of that asset that are exposed to you as a customer for those assets. For example, if you get a PDU electrical asset, you can also get the information about the voltage, the average KVA and other attributes of PDU.
  • Using the Asset Tags REST APIs, you can get the attributes of the asset tags and their current value.
  • Using the Alarms REST API, you can get all the alarms that have triggered across all your IBX locations and then you can filter those alarms by different parameters.
  • Using the Alerts REST APIs, you can get the historical data for alerts that have ever triggered across any of your sites or IBX location. You can also get the alerts that have been triggered but not acknowledged yet. The APIs allow you to get the alert definitions as well.
  • Using the streaming near real-time API, you can get streaming asset tag data as soon as it is collected data from the electrical, mechanical, and environmental sensors we stream them to the subscriber on a public cloud asynchronous channel or a machine native protocol, to your applications.
  • Using alarms near real-time streaming we stream the alarms as they get triggered at the IBX location and also stream the information about them getting cleared and them getting acknowledged by the Equinix operations team. Hence, all three events related to an alarm are stream to you.
  • Using alerts near real-time streaming you can get the alerts as they are getting triggered and getting acknowledged by you that information is streamed for all the various asset categories onto the subscribed streaming channel of your choice.

Step 2: Get a list of all the assets

The first step is to get a list of all the assets to which a given customer has visibility. Using IBX SmartView API below you can provide your Equinix customer account number, your IBX code, for e.g. CH1 and the classification, such as electrical. Invoking this API will return a list of all the electrical assets that are visible to you. For example, here we will get a Generator (electrical generator) and some key attributes of the Generator, such as alarmStatus, resiliencyStatus, alarmLastTriggeredTime, alarmLastCleared. All other electrical assets are also returned as part of the response.

The following screenshots show a sample curl request to get the assets list for the account number.

curl -X

GET "https://api.equinix.com/asset/v1/list?accountNo=1&ibx=CH1&classification=Electrical"

-H "content-type: application/json"

-H "authorization: Bearer asxQMSbBwcNzI2fCCNwSwTh3phV2'

The description of the response payload is as follows:

Refer Get Assets List under API Reference section for instructions on how to get asset details. You may skip this step if you already know the asset details.


body:

Step 3: Get Asset details

If you pick one of these assets and you want more details of the asset which means the attributes of the assets you can use the asset details API. You can do so by, specifying the account number, the IBX code, the specific asset ID and its classification electrical or mechanical. Upon invoking the API, you will see that for CH1 the asset with type generator is returned along with the three other attributes of this asset. For example, fuelHours is one attribute, and the current value this attribute is the time and the unit of measure for this value is in hours. Another attribute is the currentAlarmStatus, along with several other attributes such as runningEmergencyServices (yes or no), voltage (0 volts), etc. You can replace the assetId that was returned from the asset list API call and retrieve the attributes of another asset.

The following screenshots show a sample curl request to get assets details for the given account number, assetId, and classification.

curl -X

GET "https://api.equinix.com/asset/v1/details?accountNo=1&ibx=CH1&assetId=CH1.Gen-1&classification=Electrical"

-H "content-type: application/json"

-H "authorization: Bearer asxQMSbBwcNzI2fCCNwSwTh3phV2'

The details of the given generator are returned as shown below.

Refer Get Asset Details under API Reference section for instructions on how to get asset details. You may skip this step if you already know the asset details.


body:

Step 4: Get affected locations for a given asset

As a next step you may want to get all the affected location assets given an assetId. This call will return all your cages and cabinets in power circuits that are being serviced by the given asset. In order to make the affected assets call, you will need to provide your customer account number, your IBX code and the assetId which was initially obtained via a call to the get asset list API. If the classification is electrical, then you will get the cage, cabinet and power circuits that are being serviced by that particular asset. This is a very good way to get your assets that are impacted by the particular asset, in this example we choose an ASTS (Automatic static transfer switch).

The following screenshots show a sample curl request to get supported location assets for the given account number, classification, and assetId.

curl -X

GET "https://api.equinix.com/asset/v1/tagpoint/affected-assets?accountNo=1&ibx=CH1&classification=Electrical&assetId=CH1.ASTS-1-2-A"

-H "content-type: application/json"

-H "authorization: Bearer asxQMSbBwcNzI2fCCNwSwTh3phV2'

The call returns a list of all the location assets that are supported by the assetId above.

{
"payLoad": {
"cages": [
{
"name": "CH1:05:BCM000",
"type": "cage",
"cabinets": [
{
"name": "CH1:05:BCM000:9999",
"type": "cabinet",
"circuits": [
{
"name": "14488436",
"type": "circuit"
},
{
"name": "M10294567",
"type": "circuit"
},
{
"name": "20679430",
"type": "circuit"
}
]
}
],
"circuits": null
},
{
"name": "CH1:05:FE00021",
"type": "cage",
"cabinets": [
{
"name": "CH1:05:FE00021:0101",
"type": "cabinet",
"circuits": [
{
"name": "20744057",
"type": "circuit"
}
]
}
],
"circuits": null
}
]
},
"status": {
"type": "INFO",
"statuscode": "1000",
"msg": "OK"
}
}

Refer Get affected locations for given asset under API Reference section for instructions on how to get asset details. You may skip this step if you already know the asset details.


body:

Step 5: Get tag for a given asset

The next API that we can call is the get tag API. A tag is an attribute of a specific asset, and an asset can have one or more tags. This API accepts the account number, the IBX code, and the tag ID as an input and gives you the current value of that asset attribute or tag, in the response. For example, for the generator attribute fuelHours, you can get the current value which is a number denoting the number of hours, and the unit of measure is “hours”. The value returned for this attribute would be the last read value. This is a good way for getting the current snapshot of that particular attribute. If you need to retrieve more than one attribute, you can use the post flavor of the API.

The following screenshot shows the curl request to get a generator tagpoint fuelhours.

curl -X

GET "https://api.equinix.com/asset/v1/tagpoint/current?accountNo=1&ibx=CH1&tagId=CH1.Gen-1:fuelhours"

-H "content-type: application/json"

-H "authorization: Bearer asxQMSbBwcNzI2fCCNwSwTh3phV2'

The call returns all the tagpoint details for fuelhours as shown below.

{
"payLoad": [
{
"value": "77.9",
"tagId": "CH1.Gen-1:fuelhours",
"tagDisplayName": "Fuel Hours",
"uom": "h",
"readingTime": "20190324033354"
}
],
"status": {
"type": "INFO",
"statuscode": "1000",
"msg": "OK"
}
}

Refer Get tag point for given asset under API Reference section for instructions on how to get asset details. You may skip this step if you already know the asset details.


body:

Step 6: Get a given asset tag point trending data

Finally, the last API in this use case is to get a trending reading. You can call the API by specifying the account number, the IBX code and the point that you're interested in, for example, you can specify fuelHours from Step 2, the interval for which you want the recording, for example, 1 hr, and the date range for which you want the recording. The data returned for this particular tag ID or attribute will be the various values and their recording time at a one-hour granularity. The API returns the tag ID along with the unit of measure for this tag ID. The interval at which we are returning the recording will be the same as what you provided when calling the API, along with with the IBX and account number and then the various readings so very good for getting a snapshot of data for that attribute for your analysis purposes.

The following screenshot shows the curl request to get the asset tagpoint trending data.

curl -X

GET "https://api.equinix.com/asset/v1/tagpoint/trending?accountNo=1&ibx=CH1&tagId=CH1.Gen-5:fuelhours&interval=1h&fromDate=1483244949000&toDate=1493958549001"

-H "content-type: application/json"

-H "authorization: Bearer asxQMSbBwcNzI2fCCNwSwTh3phV2'

The call returns the tagpoint trending data (partial results) as shown below.

{
"payLoad": {
"accountNumber": "1",
"ibx": "CH1",
"interval": "1h",
"uom": "h",
"tagId": "CH1.Gen-5:fuelhours",
"tagDisplayName": "Fuel Hours",
"dataType": "Float",
"data": [
{
"datetime": "1484355108000",
"value": "81.21"
},
{
"datetime": "1484365910000",
"value": "80.35"

}
]
},
"status": {
"type": "INFO",
"statuscode": "1000",
"msg": "OK"
}
}

Using this endpoint you can retrieve all the alarms that have triggered on all the assets serving your colocation footprint, across all of the IBX locations. You can filter down on those alarms using various parameters. In order to access the API you need to specify the Auth bearer token in the header, specify the account no, number of records you to want returned and the offset to start from. You can specify the groupByIBX to group the alarms by IBX.

In order to invoke the API call, provide the token, account number, page number 1, 10 records per page, offset 0 as input. The response includes a payload of a set of alarms.

The response includes fields like the IBX. AccountNo, assetId, asset type is UPS, severity is Urgent, status is active or not, ack true or false indicating whether Equinix ops team acknowledged the alarm or not. Tagid on which the alarm had triggered. Time at which the tag got processed. It also tells, if the given alarm condition returned to normal or if the status turns to false. This set of attributes is repeated for each alarm.

The following screenshot shows the curl request to get all active alarms.

curl -X

GET "https://api.equinix.com/alarm/v1/smartview/alarms?accountNo=1&limit=10"

-H "content-type: application/json"
