 _Note:_ in order to use this API you must obtain a Sysdig Monitor/Secure API token. You can get your user's token in the _Sysdig Monitor API_ section of the settings page for [monitor](https://app.sysdigcloud.com/#/settings/user) or [secure](https://secure.sysdig.com/#/settings/user).

 Once instantiated, all the methods documented below can be called on the object.
 
 #### Return Values
-Every method in the SdMonClient/SdSecureClient classes returns **a list with two entries**. The first one is a boolean value indicating if the call was successful. The second entry depends on the result:

 - If the call failed, it's a string describing the error

 ```
-client = SdMonClient(api_token, sdc_url='https://<YOUR-API-SERVER-HOSTNAME-OR-IP>', ssl_verify=False)
