Open APIs facilitate programmability, interoperability, and intelligence across the Riverbed™ Application Performance Platform and partner ecosystem so that customers can automate the analysis and resolution of performance issues across their IT infrastructure and for their unique business needs. Riverbed™ Open APIs give developers access to metrics and configuration controls of Riverbed™ application performance infrastructure. Begin customizing and automating the analysis and resolution of performance issues across your IT infrastructure today. What are REST APIs? Application programming interfaces (APIs) allow software developers to write applications that communicate with other systems and services. APIs may expose data or metrics from the system or service, as well as configuration options and system status. REST APIs allow access via HTTP and usually use JSON or XML for data. It is a popular style for defining APIs because of its ease of use for both clients and servers. The term REST (Representational State Transfer) describes a general architectural style and a RESTful API uses just the basic methods of HTTP for interacting with a service. With Riverbed SteelScript Application Framework™, you can build web applications that consume Riverbed™’s Open APIs faster.

Navigating between interfaces to find IT data takes too long. Your organization’s combination of IT systems is unique. You have a number of systems and software technologies, each with their own metrics. But when the business or IT leaders want to know what’s happening, operations teams must navigate from interface to interface to assemble a holistic view, like piecing together a 1000–piece jigsaw puzzle. With systems becoming more complex and IT teams pressed for time, you need a customized interface that can meet your organizations unique needs. You need to automate how your teams gather metrics. And you need to integrate with the workflows and processes that your organization uses to meet business objectives. Time and labor are the most precious IT resources. If you could streamline how operations teams gather the metrics they need, you save precious hours for more important work. Riverbed™ Open APIs give you the flexibility to pull metrics from Riverbed™ in the ways you need. Building a custom application has typically been a daunting task. But with the Riverbed SteelScript Application Framework™, much of the core code is already done. From this foundation, you can focus what data you have to use and what processes you have to automate.

Riverbed SteelScript Web Application Framework

You know powerful data and metrics exist in your Riverbed™ infrastructure. Wouldn’t you love to view that data in a specific way, or share it with certain groups? Riverbed SteelScript Application Framework™ is the foundation for querying, processing, and visualizing Riverbed™ metrics on your terms. What is a web application framework? A web application framework is a code base of core functions used in any web application. The web application framework takes care of the basic web application functions so that developers can focus on their unique requirements and develop their web applications faster. Often a web application can be built with little or no experience. Django is an open source web application framework written in Python. The Django web application framework has integrations with several back—end databases and a large community of developers. Riverbed SteelScript Application Framework™ is based on Django and builds upon the Riverbed SteelScript for Python™ SDK. It provides the foundation for a web application that can query, process, and display customized metrics and analysis using Riverbed™’s Open APIs and other data sources.

Riverbed SteelScript For Custom Applications

You want to get the most out of your investment in Riverbed™ application performance infrastructure. With Riverbed SteelScript Web Application Framework™, you build IT applications that query data from across your infrastructure—including Riverbed™—and use that data how it makes sense for your business. Riverbed SteelScript Application Framework™ eliminates unnecessary programming hours and lets developers focus on building the unique, custom code for your company’s needs. How to build your own “single pane of glass” for Your IT Organization. Manually stitching together data and metrics from across your infrastructure and applications is painful. APIs make it possible to pull that data into a “single pane of glass”. But you need an application flexible enough to meet your custom requirements.Navigating between interfaces to find IT data takes too long. Your organization’s combination of IT systems is unique.
