For Agents

Install Sumo Logic apps, manage monitors and dashboards, and run admin operations across the observability platform through a 406-endpoint REST API.

Connect the Sumo Logic API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Sumo Logic API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Sumo Logic API.

Install a Sumo Logic app from the catalog and track the install job status

Upgrade or uninstall a previously installed app version through the v2 lifecycle endpoints

Manage monitors that page the on-call team when log signals breach a threshold

Read and update dashboard, content, and folder hierarchies for ops teams managing many workspaces

View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Sumo Logic API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Sumo Logic is a cloud-native log management and observability platform; the API exposes account, content, dashboard, monitor, role, and app installation surfaces across more than 400 operations. Use it to install apps, manage monitors, run admin operations, and query the platform state without using the Sumo UI. Note that endpoint hostnames vary by deployment region — pick the correct base URL for your account.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Sumo Logic API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Programmatic App Rollout Across Workspaces

An observability team manages dozens of Sumo Logic accounts across business units. To roll out a new compliance app, an agent calls /v2/apps/{uuid}/install for each account, then polls /v2/apps/install/{jobId}/status until each install reports success. The standard UI rollout becomes a parallel programmatic batch.

POST /v2/apps/{uuid}/install for each target workspace, then GET /v2/apps/install/{jobId}/status until each install completes

Monitor Lifecycle as Code

Engineering teams want their Sumo Logic monitors version-controlled rather than hand-edited. An agent reads the current monitor state, applies the diff from a Git change, and writes the updated definitions back through the API. The result is auditable, reviewable monitor changes.

List existing monitors, compute the diff against the desired-state YAML, and apply create or update calls per change

App Upgrade and Rollback Automation

When an installed Sumo Logic app needs upgrading, an agent kicks off /v2/apps/{uuid}/upgrade and watches /v2/apps/upgrade/{jobId}/status. If the upgrade fails or downstream dashboards regress, the same agent calls /v2/apps/{uuid}/uninstall and reinstalls the previous known-good version.

POST /v2/apps/{uuid}/upgrade, watch the job status, and trigger uninstall plus reinstall on failure

Admin Audit and Inventory of Installed Apps

A platform team running compliance reviews needs a periodic inventory of which Sumo Logic apps are installed where. An agent walks /v1/apps and /v2/apps, then fetches /v2/apps/{uuid}/details for each install. The output feeds a spreadsheet or dashboard the auditor can review.

List apps via /v1/apps, then for each installed app call /v2/apps/{uuid}/details and aggregate the inventory

AI Agent Observability Operations via Jentic

An incident-response agent uses Jentic to drive Sumo Logic during a high-pressure incident. Searching by intent — 'install the AWS GuardDuty app' or 'list active monitors' — Jentic returns the right operation across the 400-plus surface so the agent can act without browsing the API reference.

Use Jentic to find the Sumo Logic app-install operation, execute it for the chosen app uuid, and confirm the install job completed

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Sumo Logic access ID and key pairs are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and combined into the basic-auth header at request time. Agents drive app install and monitor operations through Jentic without seeing the raw credential pair.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with intents like 'install a sumo logic app' and Jentic returns the matching v2 install operation along with the install-job status endpoint, so the agent can chain them without browsing the 400-plus operation reference.

Time to first call

Direct Sumo Logic integration: 3-5 days to navigate the 400-plus operation surface, multi-region base URLs, and async job polling. Through Jentic: under an hour per use case.

FAQs

Specific to using Sumo Logic API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Sumo Logic?

Sumo Logic does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Sumo Logic API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Sumo Logic API use?

Sumo Logic uses HTTP basic authentication. Provision an access ID and access key inside Sumo Logic, then send them as the basic-auth username and password. Through Jentic, both halves of the credential are held in the Jentic vault and injected at execution time.

Can I install a Sumo Logic app through the API?

Yes. POST /v2/apps/{uuid}/install starts an install job and returns a jobId. Poll /v2/apps/install/{jobId}/status until it reports success. The same v2 surface offers upgrade and uninstall lifecycle calls with their own job-status endpoints.

What are the rate limits for the Sumo Logic API?

The spec does not declare numeric rate limits. Sumo Logic enforces tenant-level throttling; build agent calls with exponential backoff on 429 and avoid tight polling of install-job status — a few seconds between polls is sufficient.

How do I install a Sumo Logic app through Jentic?

Install the SDK with `pip install jentic`. Search Jentic for `install a sumo logic app`, load the schema for POST /v2/apps/{uuid}/install, and execute it with the app uuid. Jentic returns the jobId so the agent can follow up with the status endpoint.

Does the base URL change between regions?

Yes. Sumo Logic deployments are regional — the spec shows api.au.sumologic.com but the slug is api.us2.sumologic.com. Use the host that matches your tenant region (us1, us2, eu, au, etc.) and keep the path prefix /api/ on every call.
