Hello, I’m new in usage of Digital Ocean API. I’m wondering - could I get monitoring data from my droplet by java? For example could get cpu itilization or memory usage by Java? I want to write small application for notifications when any metric crosses the limit.

Hello,
Just a quick update here. DigitalOcean now has a Monitoring API endpoint that you could use. For more information you can take a look at the official API documentation here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#tag/Monitoring
Also, keep in mind that you need to have the DigitalOcean Metrics Agent installed on your Droplet in order to get some data back.
You can install the do-agent as per the instructions here:

Hope that this helps. Best, Bobby
