Monitored Entities API - totalCount value change

StephenLHChan — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 18:42:29 GMT

Hey,

I am now working on the Monitoring Entities API and would like to get the full list of Process Group Instances in my environment.

Endpoint: /api/v2/entities

Query parameters:

{ 'entitySelector': 'type("PROCESS_GROUP_INSTANCE")', 'pageSize': 10000, 'from': '1685640060000', 'to': '1686417660000' }

Below is the response:

{ "totalCount": 396289, "pageSize": 10000, "nextPageKey": "some nextPageKey", "entities": [ { some entities details here} }

The response above should be a historical data of all monitored Process Group Instances. However, I found that the value of "totalCount" will change from time to time, even if I have set the "from" and "to".

I would like to know why and how I can get the most accurate data.

Thanks!

@StephenLHChan I'm assuming that your to and from is set as a past time frame in which the data should be solidified correct? And not something as a future state or -2h to now.
