NNMi provides a list of URLs that can be used for accessing most NNMi console objects. This standardized list of URLs and their syntax helps us build the right URL, in order to get the right data object integrated in our selected third-party application.

In this article by Marius Vilemaitis, author of HP Network Node Manager 9: Getting Started, we will cover:

• Generic URLs.
• Workspace-related URLs.
• Form-related URLs.
• Menu item-related URLs.

URLs that are listed in this section can be grouped into a few groups (refer to the preceding screenshot):

• Generic URLs.
• Workspace-related URLs.
• Form-related URLs.
• Menu item-related URLs. As an example, we can provide a quick access to menu items for our team. For example, building a smart-phone application that displays critical events and allows user to run ping, trace route, or other commands for faster troubleshooting (refer to the next diagram).

The following section lists these URLs and provides tables of parameters, which can be used for building URLs.

Note: If our NNMi is configured to use the https protocol, we need to modify our URLs in this article accordingly, as URLs here are provided for http access.

Generic URLs

Generic URLs that can be used for obtaining information about NNMi are:

• View launching URL: To launch the NNMi console, use the following URL:http://<server_name>:<port_number>/nnm/launch?cmd=showMain.
  If we are passing by using a username and password within the URL, we need to use the following syntax: http://<server_name>:<port_number>/nnm/launch?cmd=showMain&j_username=<account_name>&j_password=<account_password>.
• To confirm whether NNMi is running: The following URL should be used: http:/<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd=isRunning.
  Using this URL, we will receive a confirmation response on whether or not NNMi is running.
  

  

Otherwise, a browser error message will be sent saying that the URL is unreachable.

Workspace-related URLs

This URL group is related to NNMi views. Here is a list of available URLs.
