Overview

mon-api is a RESTful API server that is designed with a layered architecture layered architecture.

Usage

mvn package
java -jar target/mon-api.jar server config-file.yml

Design Overview

Architectural layers

Requests flow through the following architectural layers from top to bottom:

• Resource
  • Serves as the entrypoint into the service.
  • Responsible for handling web service requests, and performing structural request validation.
• Application
  • Responsible for providing application level implementations for specific use cases.
• Domain
  • Contains the technology agnostic core domain model and domain service definitions.
  • Responsible for upholding invariants and defining state transitions.
• Infrastructure
  • Contains technology specific implementations of domain services.

Documentation

There are several forms of documentation for the Monitoring API.

• Overview: /docs/mon-api-overview.md. This describes some of the concepts in the Monitoring API.

• API Specification: /docs/mon-api-spec.md. This is the RESTful API specification.

• swagger-ui: When running mon-api the API docs along with the API test interface can be accessed at, http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/. Note: the trailing "/" is necessary for the Swagger UI to work properly. Currently, this is the best way to review the specification.
