For programmatic access to Identity Server statistics, you must enable the REST API.
To enable the REST API:
Add the nidpmonitor.txt file in to the WEB-INF directory of Identity Server and ESP by using Advanced File Configurator. While adding the file, ensure to enable the Restart <component name> After Configuration Change option.
For information about how to add a file, see Adding Configurations to a Cluster.
Identity Server: /opt/novell/nam/idp/webapps/nidp/WEB-INF/
ESP: /opt/novell/nam/mag/webapps/nesp/WEB-INF/
Add the following line in nidpmonitor.txt:
urn:novell:nidp:monitor:anyaccess
After this line, you must add the IP addresses of the servers from which you will be making calls to the REST API. For example,
urn:novell:nidp:monitor:anyaccess
10.0.0.0
172.16.0.0
IMPORTANT:Frequent requests to get the statistics impact the system performance. It is recommended to keep a five minutes interval between every probe for the statistics.
