Code Samples for the Chrome Management Telemetry API

AI-generated Key Takeaways

The Chrome Management Telemetry API allows you to retrieve telemetry data for Chrome devices and users, including CPU, memory, OS update, and audio statuses.
You can filter telemetry data by device, user, organizational unit, timestamp, and event type, using the filter parameter in API requests.
The readMask parameter specifies which fields are returned in the response, ensuring efficient data retrieval.
Telemetry events, such as USB additions and network changes, can be accessed via the /telemetry/events endpoint, providing insights into device activity.
By default, only recent report data is returned; to retrieve all report data, include reports_timestamp>=0 in the filter.

Visit Chrome Management Telemetry API for an overview of API features.

All the requests shown below use the following variables:

$TOKEN - OAuth 2 token
$CUSTOMER - ID of the customer or literal my_customer

List Telemetry Device Data

To list telemetry data for a chrome device use the /telemetry/devices endpoint. The readMask parameter is used to specify which device fields are returned. You can control pagination of the results using the pageSize and pageToken parameters. Specify a filter to further narrow down the results based off of device or report criteria.

List Telemetry Device Data Using a Timestamp Filter

The timestamp filter returns all devices, but only includes reports that conform to the timestamp filter and specified read_mask.

To use this filter, specify the reports_timestamp value in the filter parameter and include a timestamp value in either the Unix Epoch in milliseconds (ie. 1679288169623) or RFC 3339 "Zulu" formatted time (up to nine fractional digits ie. "2023-02-15T11:18:51.383Z") formats. Timestamps returned by the API are in the UTC timezone, so reports_timestamp filter values should also be in the UTC timezone. All standard number comparison operators (<, >, <=, >=, =) are supported.

List All Reports

Since only recent reports are returned when no reports_timestamp value is specified, the following call can be used to retrieve all device reports included in the read_mask for all devices.

  curl -X GET \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  "https://chromemanagement.googleapis.com/v1/customers/$CUSTOMER/telemetry/devices?readMask=name,customer,orgUnitId,deviceId,serialNumber,audioStatusReport,cpuStatusReport,heartbeatStatusReport,memoryStatusReport&filter=reports_timestamp>=0"

List Telemetry Event Data

To list telemetry events for a customer, use the /telemetry/events endpoint. The readMask parameter is used to specify which fields are returned. In the near future, the readMask parameter will become optional, and the filter param with at least 1 event type will be required.

By default, the event's name, report_time, and event_type fields are included in the response. You can control pagination of the results using the pageSize and pageToken parameters. Additionally, you can filter results with the following parameters:

device_id
user_id
device_org_unit_id
user_org_unit_id
timestamp
- Input value can either be EPOCH milliseconds, ie timestamp<1667423821001 or RFC 3339, ie. timestamp<"2022-11-02T20:08:32.386Z"
event_type
- audio_severe_underrun
- network_connection_state_change
- usb_added
- usb_removed
- network_htps_latency_change
