Cisco AMP for Endpoints API

POST /v1/event_streams

Description

Creates a new AMQP messaging resource for events information

When successfully requested, will create a streaming resource accessible using the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol (AMQP)

The credentials that can be used to connect to this queue are returned in the API response, which includes amqp_credentials hash with keys user_name, password, queue_name, host, port, and proto. You can use these to connect to queue with any client adhering to the AMQP protocol

Other important notes:

  • The passive and durable bits should be set on the queue
  • The protocol is over SSL/TLS. Therefore you should either prefix the uri with amqps:// or explicitly enable TLS on your client
  • This is the only time you will see the password

Example implementation in Ruby:

Client implementation with the bunny gem: 

require 'bunny'

connection_url = "#{amqp_credentials['proto']}://#{amqp_credentials['user_name']}:#{amqp_credentials['password']}@#{amqp_credentials['host']}:#{amqp_credentials['port']}"

conn = Bunny.new(connection_url)
conn.start

ch = conn.create_channel
q  = ch.queue(amqp_credentials['queue_name'], :passive => true, :durable => true)
x  = ch.default_exchange

q.subscribe(:block => true) do |delivery_info, metadata, payload|
  puts "Received #{payload}"
end

Please note that you can obtain the information about event stream not only from API response immediately after create action, but via the endpoint GET '/v1/event_streams/' without showing the password.

API Limitations

  • Events have a time-to-live (TTL) of 10 days within each streaming resource
  • limit of 5 active resources across each organization
