(Greg McCullough)
Embedded Methods - Notes
● Embedded methods support domains lookup at runtime
○ Specifying the full path, including the domain, will prevent it from getting
overridden at runtime from a different domain
● No support for nested embedded methods
● We recommend that embedded methods contain classes or a collection of
methods.
○ Code will execute in the order it was listed in the Embedded Methods list.

related generic objects.

{
“href” : “http://localhost:3000/api/generic_objects/5”,
“name” : “Test Generic Object”,
“property_attributes” : { “state” : “enabled”, “num_connections” : 3 },
“actions” : [

}

50. API
● Added new add_provider_vms action for Services (Jillian T.)
When vms are created externally, i.e. through Ansible Playbooks, this enhancement
allows us to link a service to the provider resources that were generated for it.
POST /api/services/7
{
“action” : “add_provider_vms”,
“resource” : {
“provider” : { “href” : “http://localhost:3000/api/providers/:id” },

}

51. API
● Added support for Custom Button Sets (Aparna K.)
○ New primary collection: /api/custom_button_sets
○ Full CRUD capability

"set_data": {
"button_order" : [ 10000000000013, 10000000000016 ],
"button_icon" : "ff ff-view-expanded",
"button_color" : "#4727ff",
"display" : true,
"applies_to_class" : "GenericObjectDefinition",
"applies_to_id " : "10000000000050"
}
}

PUT /api/custom_button_sets/:id
PATCH /api/custom_button_sets/:id
POST /api/custom_button_sets/:id - action “delete”
DELETE /api/custom_button_sets/:id
POST /api/custom_button_sets - Bulk action “delete”

52. API
● Removed required filters for event streams (Tim W.)
● In the initial GET implementation for /api/event_streams target_type and timestamp filters were required
● With the default paging of 1000 items we apply on that collection, those filters were not needed but still
generally honored by the API.
○ GET /api/event_streams?filter[]=timestamp>2017-01-03&filter[]=timestamp<2017-01-05
○ GET /api/event_streams?filter[]=target_type=Host
● This gives the API callers more flexibility on the types of queries they could perform.

53. API
● Added picture support for Generic Object Definitions (Jillian T.)
Pictures depicting Generic Objects can now be added when Generic Object Definitions are created:
POST /api/generic_object_definitions
{
“name” : “LoadBalancer”,
“description” : “LoadBalancer description”,
“properties” : { … },
“picture” : {
“extension” : “png”,
“content” : “base64 content of image …”
}
}
Pictures already added can be referenced above by id or href instead.

54. API
● Image_href now returned with Pictures (Jillian T.)
- Previously, the href of a picture had to be asked for when querying the picture.
- With this enhancement, the image_href is returned upon getting the picture resources.
GET /api/pictures?expand=resources
GET /api/pictures
GET /api/services/:id?expand=generic_objects&attributes=generic_objects.picture
GET /api/pictures/5
{
"href" : "http://localhost:3000/api/pictures/5",
"id" : "5",
"resource_id" : "8",
"resource_type" : "GenericObjectDefinition",
==> "image_href" : "http://localhost:3000/pictures/5.png",
"extension" : "png"
}
