Endpoints can be accessed and modified through this API using four services: GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH. These four services allow for the retrieval, creation, complete update, and partial update of Endpoints.
Each function returns a JSON
Endpointendpoint object.
An EndpointThe endpoint object has these attributes:
Attributes | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Description | String | This is a description of the Endpoint. |
Connection Type | String | This specifies the connection Type. MANDATORY: "SSH" or "LOCALHOST" |
isActive | Boolean | This is a Boolean that tracks whether or not the Endpoint is active. |
Endpoint Address | String | This is a String associated with the address of the endpoint. |
Endpoint Port | String | This is a port associated with an SSH connection. DEPENDENT: Mandatory when connectionType is "SSH", otherwise not used. |
Endpoint Id | Long | This is a number associated with the identification number of an existing Endpoint. |
Password | String | This is a character sequence used to access the corresponding remote connection. DEPENDENT: mandatory when connectionType is "SSH" otherwise not used. |
Endpoint Name | String | This is the unique name of the corresponding Endpoint. UNIQUE |
Private Key | String | This is a character sequence associated with the corresponding remote connection. DEPENDENT: Mandatory when connectionType is "SSH" otherwise not used. |
OS Type | String | This is a character sequence which corresponds to the operating system type used in the corresponding remote connection. DEPENDENT: Mandatory when connectionType is "SSH" otherwise not used. |
Base Directory | String | This is a character sequence which corresponds to the base directory of the corresponding Endpoint. MANDATORY |
Endpoint Sub Group | String | This is a character sequence associated with this Endpoint's corresponding sub-group. |
Passphrase | String | This is a character sequence associated with the correspond remote connection. DEPENDENT: Mandatory when connectionType is "SSH" otherwise not used. |
Java Path | String | This is a character sequence that specifies the java path of the corresponding Endpoint. MANDATORY |
Run As User Name | String | This is a character sequence that specifies the runAsUserName variable. Dependent: Mandatory when connection Type is "SSH" otherwise not used. |

Example
If we had an endpoint in our database with an Id of 13901 and had the following attributes
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
{ "password": "Password", "description": "description", "userName": "userName", "privateKey": "privateKey", "isActive": true, "baseDirectory": "ServerInstallRoot + '/localhost'", "endpointName": "GOODPOST1", "connectionType": "SSH", "endpointAddress": "NotNeeded00", "endpointId": 13910, "endpointSubgroup": "subGroupTester", "endpointPort": "1", "endpointGroup": "endpointGroup", "runAsUserName": "TestInput", "osType": "UNIX", "javaPath": "ServerJavaHome", "passphrase": "*****"
note:password and passphrase are always "*****" for security reasons if not null. Local Connection Example:Output when the connection type is LOCALHOST and the Id parameter specified is 13911. | ||
Endpoint 13909 |
When we run a GET request at the following URL
http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/endpoint/13901
The GET request would return the following JSON endpoint object

GET
...
(Using Query Parameters)
This GET service will return a list of Endpoints in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameters name, address, group and subgroup. Endpoints are only returned if they match ALL of the specified query parameters. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of Endpoints.
