Celerra XML API Help

Question

I am interested in working with the Celerra XML API to gather statistics and perform basic actions using the Celerra XML API however I am a bit lost. I am somewhat familiar with XML but not enough to write applications to pass xml files to the apache server on the Control Station. Has anyone implemented anything simplsitic that they wouldnt mind sharing using the XML API and wouldnt mind sharing their app? I am a little confused as to how to go about it. Also if there is a good reference outside the whats on the Doc CD and the pdf (XML App book) that you could recommend that would be appreciated as well. Thank you,

yes the server_stats command is good however its not efficient as it bogs down our control stations. I setup 4 backgrounded server_stats commands for a single datamover on one of our NSX frames and the control station became useless because each instance spawns the jserver engine it seems. I tried combining the commands but trying to parse that data is ugly. RIght now I want to see what I can get from the XML API not only with regards to stats but for management.

I have used the command 'server_sysstat' (Dart 5.5) for about 2 years now in a script that gets some performance info every minute and logs to a csv file, and have never had an issue with our control stations.

I've been told that server_stats doesnt use jserver, but it does use Java
