]> The PlanetLab Administrative-Monitor API (Admin-Mon) is the interface through which PLC administrators access the Admin-Mon API. Some functions are also accessible to users with lower privileges. But, all users must have an account in the monitored PLC

Authentication for operations is based on the identity of the connecting user. The standard PLCAPI authetication is used here.

The Admin-Mon XMLRPC server listens at http://PLC_MONITOR_HOST:8082/XMLRPC/ The XMLRPC server can be accessed remotely using a standard Python XMLRPC shell.

Access to the API is via standard XMLRPC. A simple example is below. import xmlrpclib auth = {'Username' : API_AUTH_USER, 'AuthMethod' : 'password', 'AuthString' : API_AUTH_PASSWORD} api = xmlrpclib.Server(API_SERVER, verbose=False, allow_none=True) if api.upAndRunning(): for i in api.getSiteStatus(auth): print i else: print "Admin-Mon API is not running."
