Is there Rest APIs to create the HTTP request template and Actions/Policies?

Is there Rest APIs to create the HTTP request template & Actions/Policies?

I would like to automate the procedures for creating the HTTP request templates, Actions and policy.

Hi @Jitendra Singh.Jadav,

Thank you for posting to the community.

[HTTP request template]

There are "Export HTTP Request Action Templates from an Account" and "Import HTTP Action Templates into an Account" APIs.

First, you need to create a http action template from the controller UI, but you can export that template, modify the exported JSON, and import the modified JSON again with the new name to create http action templates by API.(You can't update/delete existing ones)

Please see the documents below for the APIs.

Export HTTP Request Action Templates from an Account

Import HTTP Action Templates into an Account

https://docs.appdynamics.com/21.11/en/extend-appdynamics/appdynamics-apis/configuration-import-and-e... 

[Actions]

Please see the document below for "Create a New Action" API.

https://docs.appdynamics.com/21.11/en/extend-appdynamics/appdynamics-apis/alert-and-respond-api/acti... 

[Policies]

Please see the document below for "Create a Policy" API.

Hi @Hiroki.Ito 

I had tried to import the API using the below payload, but it gives me an error:

Hi @Jitendra Singh.Jadav ,

Could you please share how you executed the API?

I tried in my local environment and following commands worked, so could you please try saving the payload as a file and then using a curl command?

1. curl --user user1@customer1:your_password https://demo.appdynamics.com/controller/actiontemplate/httprequest > template.json
2. edit template.json
3. curl -X POST --user user1@customer1:your_password https://demo.appdynamics.com/controller/actiontemplate/httprequest -F file=@template.json

Best Regards,

Hiroki

Hi Hiroki,

I m able to do it with curl command but with POSTMAN its failing, not sure why.

POST  : https://cisco1nonprod.saas.appdynamics.com/controller/actiontemplate/httprequest

Auth : Basic Auth 

[Jitendra_Singh_]

Also, 

I dont see the headers getting added after the template gets created.

I mentioned the  2 headers :
Authorization and Content-Type 

But both after the successful operation , I dont see it in the template.

Hi @Jitendra Singh.Jadav ,

Thank you for trying with curl.

When you use POSTMAN, could you please send a saved template file as body?

Please see attached screenshot for reference.

You can choose a file when you select form-data as body.

 

For Custom Request Headers, I tried with the payload you attached in this post, and they were successfully registered.

Could you please confirm if the template file contains headers and then try again?

Best Regards,

Hiroki
