How to read AWS data in Mendix.

0
I deployed few of my mendix apps in to AWS cloud. I am creating a dashboard in Mendix to list few KPIs like How many apps are running in production, brief introduction about those apps etc. I want to get the information about " How many apps running in production along with their name"  at runtime and since all these Apps are running on AWS,  I believe AWS has all this information available in it and can feed to mendix app. The ask is - how can I achieve this technically in my mendix modeler. Do I need any API to get data from AWS? Any clues/insights are appreciated!

If you want barebone information on the status of the AWS instances you could use the DescribeInstanceStatus api call.

If you want Mendix specific information, you could include a odata/service in each app which returns the desired app information. Next, via the DescribeInstances API call collect all the "hostnames" and call the odata/webservice of each instance to retrieve the app information.

Or you can use the teamserver api (https://docs.mendix.com/apidocs-mxsdk/apidocs/team-server-api ) to retreive the information from SPRINTR. It needs an api key of your app to retreive it, but after that you can get a lot of info. We use the same approach to get an overview of all our apps including their not finished userstories.
