Retrieving Test Data using cURL
To retrieve the measurement data collected upon execution of tests across all relevant component types using cURL, the command should be specified in the following format:
curl -location -request POST "http://<eG Manager IP:Port>/api/eg/analytics/getTestData" -H "user:<eG username or domain/eG username>" -H "pwd:Base64 encoded password" -H "managerurl:http://<eG Manager IP:Port>" -H"Content-Type:application/json" --data-raw "{\"test\":\"test name\"}
Figure 2 shows an example cURL command for retrieving the measurement data that is reported by eG Enterprise by monitoring all the components in the target environment.
