Get Number of objects on proxy via API

[martynh]

Hi
I am mindful of the recommended object limits on a repository. We manage a VBO instance for multiple customers and so proxies are shared. Is there a way through the restful API to get or estimate the number of objects already associated with a proxy so we can assess when a proxy is close to being oversubscribed?

thanks

Directly you cannot get it. You would be able to use a script and then use something like GET https://<hostname>:4443/v5/Jobs/{jobId}/SelectedItems to retrieve all the items and count them.

By the way, those limits are recommendations. More importantly is to look at the performance of the proxy. If you are at the limit, but only use 50% of the performance, by all means, add some more. We don't have a hard limit
