I am trying to get the bandwidth data for all the softlayer servers under my account.
Thanks to account_servers.rb
I am able to get the server id for all the servers. Now I would like to get the Bandwidth used by the servers for a particular time frame. The data that I am interested is
http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Metric_Tracking_Object_Bandwidth_Summary
.
I tried to get information using softlayer_client.service_named("Metric_Tracking_Object_Bandwidth_Summary")
. Unfortunately I am not able to get the details.
I did find a java code, but I am interested in ruby code. Can someone please guide me to get the server bandwith summary?
Getting bandWidth data in SL
Please, try the following Ruby
examples:
require 'rubygems'
require 'softlayer_api'
server_id = 11498369
# Your SoftLayer API username.
SL_API_USERNAME = 'set me'
# Your SoftLayer API key.
SL_API_KEY = 'set me'
softlayer_client = SoftLayer::Client.new(:username => SL_API_USERNAME,
:api_key => SL_API_KEY)
vsi_service = softlayer_client.service_named('SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest')
metric_tracking_object_id = vsi_service.object_with_id(server_id).getMetricTrackingObjectId
metric_service = softlayer_client.service_named('SoftLayer_Metric_Tracking_Object')
service_ref = metric_service.object_with_id(metric_tracking_object_id)
begin
object_template = [{
'keyName' => 'PUBLICOUT',
'summaryType' => 'sum'
}]
result = service_ref.getSummaryData('2016-03-29T00:00:00','2016-03-30T00:00:00',object_template,600)
puts result.inspect
rescue => e
puts 'Error when executing the script...'
$stdout.print(e.inspect)
end

Second example using SoftLayer_Virtual_Gues::getBandwidthDataByDate
:
require 'rubygems'
require 'softlayer_api'
require 'pp'
require 'date'
# Set the server id that you wish to get Bandwidth information.
server_id = 11498369
softlayer_client = SoftLayer::Client.new(:username => 'set me',
:api_key => 'set me')
server = SoftLayer::VirtualServer.server_with_id(server_id, :client => softlayer_client)
get_bandwidth_data_by_date = server.service.getBandwidthDataByDate('2016-03-29T00:00:00','2016-03-30T00:00:00','public')
pp('getBandwidthDataByDate: ', get_bandwidth_data_by_date)

Disclamer: I created my own Ruby SoftLayer client, you can check it at http://github.com/zertico/softlayer specially for situations like this one where you want to access some specific data (and I'm not SoftLayer staff ;) )
If you'd like to give it a try the code that solves your problem is
ps: I'm considering you are manipulating a SoftLayer_Hardware_Server, right?
hardware = Softlayer::Hardware::Server.find(123)
hardware.get_current_bandwidth_summary
mask = 'mask[currentBandwidthSummary]'
hardware = Softlayer::Hardware::Server.mask(mask).find(123)
hardware.current_bandwidth_summary
You will access a ruby object like this one:
=> #<Softlayer::Metric::Tracking::Object::Bandwidth::Summary:0x007ff74b683540
@allocation_amount="1234",
@allocation_id=111111,
@amount_out="12.34567",
@average_daily_usage="1.23",
@currently_over_allocation_flag=0,
@id=1111111,
@outbound_bandwidth_amount="123.45678",
@projected_bandwidth_usage="123.45",
@projected_over_allocation_flag=0>
Hope it can helps you, comment if you have any doubt about the client usage
