Accessing HPE OneView message buses

HPE OneView supports asynchronous messaging to notify subscribers of changes to managed resources (both logical and physical) and changes to metrics on managed resources. For example, you can program applications to receive notifications when new server hardware is added to the managed environment or when the health status of physical resources changes, and you can stream power, thermal and CPU metrics for managed resources.

Using HPE OneView REST APIs, you can obtain certificates to access the State-Change Message Bus (SCMB).

The message content is sent in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format and includes the resource model.

Before you can set up subscription to messages, you must create and download an AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) certificate from the appliance using REST APIs. Next, you connect to the message bus using the EXTERNAL authentication mechanism with or without specifying a user name and password. This ensures that you use certificate-based authentication between the message bus and your client. After connecting to the message bus, you set up a queue with the queue name empty, and AMQP generates a unique queue name. You use this queue name to bind your client to exchanges and receive messages.

To connect to the message and set up a queue, you must use a client that supports the AMQP protocol.
