The device API can be used by tool sets for processing state and statistic information. Data is returned as JSON.

To use this feature, it must be enabled via the editSystemDeviceLevelAPIConfiguration API or on the IBM Cloud Object Storage Manager™ user interface.

See the Manager Administration Guide for details about how to enable the Device Level API.
