Integrating with VantagePoint Navigator
The C++ APIs
The C++ APIs
The VPO Developer’s Toolkit provides the following C++ interfaces for
VantagePoint Navigator:
❏ Query interface for service status
This interface allows you to request the status of a service as well as
some basic attributes of the service.
❏ Registration interface for service status changes
This interface allows you to register for service status changes. The
information that is returned includes the service name, the previous
severity, and the new severity.
This is of interest to integrators who want to react to service changes
with appropriate actions, for example, forward the information to a
trouble ticket system or notification service, or to execute other
commands.
The following sections describe the concept of these interfaces in more
detail. See the VPO Developer’s Reference for more information about the
C++ classes and for detailed examples.
The Query Interface for Service Status and Attributes
This interface allows you to request the status as well as some basic
attributes of a service, for example, the label, description, icon, or
background.
