How can I get server device CPU or Memory utilisation data from the API in bulk. I can get this from individual servers by specifying the device_id (i.e. /api/device/<device_id>/performance_data/838/data?duration=24h) but there must be a faster and less system taxing way? The documentation specifies how to get performance data in bulk (Requesting Performance Data from the API in Bulk (sciencelogic.com)), but not for all servers where class_type=linux as an example.

Hi Martin,
This is the correct way to get the data, the RestAPI does not have a faster method. What I've seen before is that this use case to have the devices that you want to get the data from in a Device Group. There is a Device Group API (/api/device_group/guid) that provides the Device ID's, it lists out the first part of the URI:
So your code can get that list and loop through them to get the /performance_data/838/data?duration=24h part.
