This example shows the use of Python with the vSphere Automation SDK for Python to request the overall system health indicator for the vCenter Server Appliance and the overall health indicator for management services. The example assumes a previously existing session with the vSphere Automation API endpoint.

This example depends on the following global variables.

■

my_stub_config 

from com.vmware.appliance import health_client

# This example assumes you have previously created a session
# and stored the session ID in my_stub_config.

# Issue request for overall system health.
System_stub = health_client.System( my_stub_config )
health = System_stub.get()
print( 'Overall system health: %s' % health )

# Issue request for applmgmt services health.
Applmgmt_stub = health_client.Applmgmt( my_stub_config )
health = Applmgmt_stub.get()
print( 'Applmgmt services health: %s' % health )
