RA REST API - analyze error code (404, 500 etc...)

[Olivier Thiry]

Hello Community,

I would like to know how to retrieve the standard error code return with an API in case of error like 404, 500 etc...

I can see messages in the log report, but I cannot find any Automic variable to retrieve the value.

The response is in json format, but it is not catch with the response part configuration:

If somebody know how to do, it will be useful for me.

Thank you

I think you have to use prep_process_report in Post-Process to do that.

Responseparsing seems to be for parsing between the Reportline "Start response pattern" and "End response pattern" only.

Hi Olivier,

there is also an option to map content of the response header to Automic script variables. Unfortunately the "Status" is not part of the response header and therefore I recommend using PREP_PROCESS_REPORT too.

Hello,

Than you for your response.
For me, it is not normal that the dedicated agent cannot retrieve automatically the normal return message of an API than:

2023-03-28 16:44:45             pool-1-thread-1715: JerseyUtils: Check response code:400
2023-03-28 16:44:45             pool-1-thread-1715: JerseyUtils: Response family:CLIENT_ERROR
2023-03-28 16:44:45             pool-1-thread-1715: JerseyUtils: Response reason:Bad Request
2023-03-28 16:44:45             pool-1-thread-1715: JerseyUtils: Response type:Unknown

It is part of the log, why they cannot put it in the dedicated variable...

PRE_PROCESS_REPORT can be used, of course, but it is a workaround.
