The LM accessv2/ API endpoint has been enhanced to improve LoadMaster integration with WUG and similar API-based monitors.

  • Input data can be provided in either of two ways:
    • Using a POST of JSON-format data (as in previous releases)
    • Inline in the URL using a GET command
  • Basic authentication can be provided using the "Authorization" header.

This makes it possible to configure a WhatsUp Gold monitor to leverage the accessv2/ API and plot graphs on the WhatsUp Gold console using data returned by the API. An example would be using the LM API stats command to graph VS stats like totalbytes and bytespersec. See Appendix A: WhatsUp Gold API Integration Example for an example.
