Assign API Pollers Wizard

SAM includes prebuilt templates that you can use with the API Poller feature to capture metrics from external REST APIs in PaaS, IaaS, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Templates are available for a variety of APIs hosted by SolarWinds, Microsoft, and other vendors. For details, see the SAM API Poller Template Guide.

To access the Assign API Pollers Wizard:

1. Navigate to the Node Details view for the node where you're assigning a template.
2. In the Management widget, click API Poller Management > Assign.

The following details appear for each template:

• Version: The current version of the template.
• Requests: The number of API requests sent for this template.
• Metrics: The number of metrics consumed by this template.
• Description: Brief text about the template.

Available actions

• Click Create custom API Poller to add a standard API poller instead of assigning a template.
• To assign a single template to a node, select the check box in a row. You can also:
  • Select the check box in the header to select or clear all check boxes on the page.
  • Click the drop-down icon next to the check box in the header to select all available templates, or only templates on the current page.
• Click Next to provide Authorization details for the API poller.
