# AIC-manager

AIC-manager (AICM) provides APIs that retrieve metrics from AIC devices which various management tools or external frameworks can use to create
dashboards for administration.

The objectives of AICM are to:

- Collect telemetry: Gather telemetry data from AIC cards and serve
it in a user-friendly manner.
- Monitor health: Monitor card health and perform a series of
diagnostic tests to provide reports.
- Enforce policies/configurations: Apply configurations to AIC
cards based on different conditions.

The AICM files are in the following location:

/opt/qti-aic/tools/aic-manager

You can access the API documentation using the following methods:

- Swagger UI: [Swagger UI](https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/) enables users to visualize and interact with the APIs. When operational, AICM provides a Swagger UI interface accessible at `<IP>:<PORT>/docs`.
- Redoc: You can achieve the same using [Redoc](https://github.com/Redocly/redoc). When operational, AICM provides a Redoc interface accessible at `<IP>:<PORT>/redoc`.

For both of the previous methods, replace `<IP>:<PORT>` with the actual IP address and port number where AICM is running.

## Next steps

- Install the dependencies and [start AICM](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-99100-3/topic/user-guide.html).
- [Feature overview](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-99100-3/topic/feature-overview.html): AICM supports features such as metrics retrieval, device grouping and configuration, policy-based alerts, and diagnostic reporting.
- Use the [AICMI command line interface](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-99100-3/topic/cli.html) to interact with AICM through a terminal without having to use a programmatic interface.
- See [examples](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-99100-3/topic/examples-how-to-guides.html) of using open source software to create dashboards and graphs.
