SDK(Software Development Toolkit) description

Synaps provides following two types of SDK.

User SDK

Synaps provides AWS CloudWatch compatible APIs so that users can use AWS CloudWatch SDKs. Synaps does not provide Synaps-specialized SDK for users.

• Java SDK: Synaps is compatible with AWS SDK for Java (ver 1.3.12). But, it doesn’t support more recent version. Synaps does not supports AWS Signature v4 yet. see https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java

  To use more recent version of AWS SDK for Java, use SPCS branch that works with Signature v2 module. see https://github.com/spcs/aws-sdk-java

• Python SDK: Synaps is compatible with AWS SDK for Python, Boto. see https://github.com/boto/boto

Admin SDK

Synaps has its own SDK which is a spin-off of AWS SDK for Java (v1.3.12) to call admin APIs. If a user who does not have synapsadmin or novaadmin role calls Synaps APIs, he (or she) will get 400 error message.

Administrators can

• pass ProjectId parameter for every APIs, so that they can access data in any project.
• put metric data which have their namespace start with reserved word for their services (e.g. “OPENSTACK/” or “SPCS/”). see PutMetricData.
• put alarm which have their name start with reserved word for their services.
