This page describes how to obtain credentials and generate an access token to make calls to the Cisco Cloud Observability and Cisco Observability Platform REST APIs. 

  1. Create a Service Principal: In the Accounts Management Portal, an Account or Tenant Administrator can create a Service Principal to obtain the client ID and client secret to generate an access token.
  2. Assign Roles to the Service Principal: The credentials from the Service Principal will need to be assigned to a role with permissions to call the REST APIs.
  3. Generate an Access Token: With the Service Principal's client ID and client secret with the correct permissions, you can call the Cisco Observability Platform OAuth API to generate an access token.
  4. Call the Cisco Cloud Observability or Cisco Observability Platform REST APIs: Use your access token to call one of the following APIs (this list is not comprehensive).
