Nodes

The default offset is 0. The default limit is 10 results. To get all results, use limit=0 as a parameter on the URL (GET /nodes?limit=0).

Additionally, anywhere you use "id" in the queries below, you can use the foreign source and foreign ID separated by a colon instead (GET /nodes/fs:fid).

GETs (Reading Data)

Resource Description

/nodes

Get a list of nodes. This includes the ID and node label.

/nodes/{id}

Get a specific node, by ID.

/nodes/{id}/ipinterfaces

Get the list of IP interfaces associated with the given node.

/nodes/{id}/ipinterfaces/{ipaddress}

Get the IP interface for the given node and IP address.

/nodes/{id}/ipinterfaces/{ipaddress}/services

Get the list of services associated with the given node and IP interface.

/nodes/{id}/ipinterfaces/{ipaddress}/services/{service}

Get the requested service associated with the given node, IP interface, and service name.

/nodes/{id}/snmpinterfaces

Get the list of SNMP interfaces associated with the given node.

/nodes/{id}/snmpinterfaces/{ifindex}

Get the specific interface associated with the given node and ifIndex.

/nodes/{id}/categories

Get the list of categories associated with the given node.

/nodes/{id}/categories/{categoryname}

Get the category associated with the given node and category name.

/nodes/{id}/assetRecord

Get the asset record associated with the given node.

/nodes/{id}/hardwareInventory

Get the hardware inventory information collected by the hardware inventory plugin.

/nodes/{id}/hardwareInventory/{entPhysicalIndex}

Get a specific entity from the hardware inventory information.

POSTs (Adding Data)

POST requires XML using application/xml as its Content-Type.

Resource Description

/nodes

Add a node.

/nodes/{id}/rescan

Rescan the node for new interfaces.

/nodes/{id}/ipinterfaces

Add an IP interface to the node.

/nodes/{id}/ipinterfaces/{ipaddress}/services

Add a service to the interface for the given node.

/nodes/{id}/snmpinterfaces

Add an SNMP interface to the node.

/nodes/{id}/categories

Add a category association to the node.

/nodes/{id}/hardwareInventory

Add entire hardware inventory to the node.

/nodes/{id}/hardwareInventory/{entPhysicalIndex}

Add specific entity to node’s hardware inventory.

PUTs (Modifying Data)

PUT requires form data using application/x-www-form-urlencoded as a content type.

Resource Description

/nodes/{id}

Modify a node with the given ID.

/nodes/{id}/ipinterfaces/{ipaddress}

Modify the IP interface with the given node ID and IP address.

/nodes/{id}/ipinterfaces/{ipaddress}/services/{service}

Modify the service with the given node ID, IP address, and service name.

/nodes/{id}/snmpinterfaces/{ifindex}

Modify the SNMP interface with the given node ID and ifIndex.

/nodes/{id}/categories/{categoryname}

Modify the category with the given node ID and name.

/nodes/{id}/hardwareInventory/{entPhysicalIndex}

Modify the hardware inventory entity for given node ID and index. It is possible to use this endpoint to add custom attributes.

DELETEs (Removing Data)

Perform a DELETE to the singleton URLs specified in PUT above to delete that object.

Resource Description

/nodes/{id}

Delete a node with the given ID.

/nodes/{id}/hardwareInventory/{entPhysicalIndex}

Delete a specific entity from the node’s hardware inventory. If you provide the entPhysicalIndex of the root entity, all the hardware inventory will be removed.

Deletion of nodes, ipinterfaces, and services is asynchronous so it will return 202 (ACCEPTED). Deletion of snmpinterfaces and categories is synchronous calls so will return 204 (NO_CONTENT) on success.
