There is away to check metrics values for time series in the database via api with curl requests, e. g., 

curl -G -k -u "user:passsword" "https://localhost:9009/api/v1/metrics" --data-urlencode "query=(im.name==log-file-size and device-id=="f72bea52-476b-4ba9-9b33-d5bce7890f8b")" --data-urlencode "start=`date -d -1hour +"%s000"`" | sed "s/tags/\ntags/g"

There are also metrics that are collected as snapshots, e. g. "core-dumps". The is a separate database for them. How could it be accesed to check recorded metric values?

You can use `liveConfig` API to get the latest metrics and the latest live config.

Simply call: 

https://localhost:9009/api/v1/liveConfig/<DeviceId>


Please note that it will return an Array with the latest objects for the metric and live configuration.

If you have core-dumps that you want to receive, you will need to set it up as `liveConfig`


You can use `writeComplexMetricObjectArrayWithLiveConfig` to mark a complexMetric (snapshot) as live config:


writeComplexMetricObjectArrayWithLiveConfig(imName, tags, objects, displayName)

Similar to writeComplexMetricObjectArray with the addition of a live config tag and a displayName (see displayName in example for Double Metric live config above)
