RESTful Endpoints

Every HTTP request requires AccessToken passed as user. Example:

curl -u 0b79bab50daca910b000d4f1a2b675d604257e42: https://localhost:55655/api/hosts

• GET /api/hosts Displays list of all hosts by access token.

• POST /api/hosts Submit JSON data from 1 host.

Querying

You can query hosts data using SQL-like language. There are 3 fields to query from: name, tags, and data.

Currently, you can only use AND conjunctive operators.

Query by hostname

• Exact match: name = "localhost"

• Starts with match: name ~^ "awesome-app-"

Query by tags

• Contains the following tags: tags = ["app", "django", "staging"]

Query by data

To craft data query, starts with ResourceD path and then use "." delimited separator as you get deeper into the JSON structure. Example:

Let's say your resourced agent shipped /free data:

{"/free": {"Swap": {"Free": 0, "Used": 0, "Total": 0}, "Memory": {"Free": 1346609152, "Used": 7243325440, "Total": 8589934592, "ActualFree": 3666075648, "ActualUsed": 4923858944}}}

You can query "Swap": "Used": data like this:

/free.Swap.Used > 10000000
