Storm UI Rest API Doc

Storm UI REST API

The Storm UI daemon provides a REST API that allows you to interact with a Storm cluster, which includes retrieving metrics data and configuration information as well as management operations such as starting or stopping topologies.

Data format

The REST API returns JSON responses and supports JSONP. Clients can pass a callback query parameter to wrap JSON in the callback function.

Using the UI REST API

Note: It is recommended to ignore undocumented elements in the JSON response because future versions of Storm may not support those elements anymore.

REST API Base URL

The REST API is part of the UI daemon of Storm (started by storm ui) and thus runs on the same host and port as the Storm UI (the UI daemon is often run on the same host as the Nimbus daemon). The port is configured by ui.port, which is set to 8080 by default (see defaults.yaml).

The API base URL would thus be:

http://<ui-host>:<ui-port>/api/v1/...

You can use a tool such as curl to talk to the REST API:

# Request the cluster configuration.
# Note: We assume ui.port is configured to the default value of 8080.
$ curl http://<ui-host>:8080/api/v1/cluster/configuration

GET Operations

/api/v1/cluster/configuration (GET)

POST Operations

Cross site request forgery (CSRF) prevention in POST requests

In order to prevent CSRF vulnerability, the REST API uses a CSRF token. This is primarily done for the UI, however we do not have alternative APIs/paths for UI and non-UI clients.

The token is generated during the /api/v1/topology/:id (GET) request. The JSON response for this GET request contains a field called "antiForgeryToken". All the post requests below must include a header "x-csrf-token" with the value of "antiForgeryToken" from the GET response. In absence of this header with the right token value you will get following error response:

{
    "error" : "Forbidden action.",
    "errorMessage" : "missing CSRF token."
}

/api/v1/topology/:id/activate (POST)

Activates a topology.

Parameter Value Description
id String (required) Topology Id

/api/v1/topology/:id/deactivate (POST)

Deactivates a topology.

Parameter Value Description
id String (required) Topology Id

/api/v1/topology/:id/rebalance/:wait-time (POST)

Rebalances a topology.

Parameter Value Description
id String (required) Topology Id
wait-time String (required) Wait time before rebalance happens

/api/v1/topology/:id/kill/:wait-time (POST)

Kills a topology.

Parameter Value Description
id String (required) Topology Id
wait-time String (required) Wait time before rebalance happens

Caution: Small wait times (0-5 seconds) may increase the probability of triggering the bug reported in STORM-112, which may result in broker Supervisor daemons.

API errors

The API returns 500 HTTP status codes in case of any errors.

Sample response:
