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

Impersonating a user in secure environment

In a secure environment an authenticated user can impersonate another user. To impersonate a user the caller must pass doAsUser param or header with value set to the user that the request needs to be performed as. Please see SECURITY.MD to learn more about how to setup impersonation ACLs and authorization. The rest API uses the same configs and acls that are used by nimbus.

Examples:

 1. http://ui-daemon-host-name:8080/api/v1/topology/wordcount-1-1425844354\?doAsUser=testUSer1
 2. curl 'http://localhost:8080/api/v1/topology/wordcount-1-1425844354/activate' -X POST -H 'doAsUser:testUSer1'

API errors

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

DRPC REST API

If DRPC is configured with either an http or https port it will expose a REST endpoint. (See Setting up a Storm cluster for how to do that)

In all of these commands :func is the DRPC function and :args is the arguments to it. The only difference is in how those arguments are supplied. In all cases the response is in the response's body.

In all cases DRPC does not have state, so if your request times out or results in an error please retry the request, but preferably with an exponential backoff to avoid doing a DDOS on the DRPC servers.

/drpc/:func (POST)

In this case the :args to the drpc request are in the body of the post.

/drpc/:func/:args (GET)

In this case the :args are supplied as a part of the URL itself. There are limitations on URL lengths by many tools, so if this is above a hundred characters it is recomended to use the POST option instead.

/drpc/:func (GET)

In some rare cases :args may not be needed by the DRPC command. If no :args section is given in the DRPC request and empty string "" will be used for the arguments.
