Create new ITSI Glass Table through - Rest API call

[PowerPacked]

Hi Guys

I would like to create new glass tables through Rest API calls - but am failing as am not able to pass proper arguments needed for POST action of API call of ITSI glass table.

for example:

    curl -k -u admin:password https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/SA-ITOA/itoa_interface/entity -H "Content-Type: 
    application/json" -X POST -d '{"component": ["PerProcess"],"informational": {"fields": ["info"],"values": ["field"]},"_version": 
    "3.0.0","title": "PerProcess","object_type": "entity","_type":"entity","identifier": {"fields": ["component"],"values": 
    ["PerProcess"]}}' 

This above call creates a new Entity in ITSI through Rest API call which is given in this doc
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/3.0.1/RESTAPI/ITSIRESTAPIreference

i would like to create a new Glass Table in this way.

Help is appreciated
Thanks

Here is how i managed to create glass tables via REST calls.

Method: POST
Endpoint: /servicesNS/nobody/SA-ITOA/itoa_interface/glass_table
JSON: {
"content": [

],
"acl": {
    "can_share_global": true,
    "sharing": "app",
    "perms": {
        "read": [
            "*"
        ],
        "write": [
            "*"
        ]
    },
    "can_write": true,
    "owner": "xxx",
    "can_share_app": true,
    "modifiable": true,
    "can_change_perms": true,
    "can_share_user": true
},
"identifying_name": "xxx",
"title": "xxx",
"_owner": "nobody",
"_user": "nobody"

}

Make sure to fill in owner, title, identifying_name and modify any true/false based on your needs.

Good luck!

Not sure the exact curl command being used but was able to create an empty Glass Table using the following on ITSI v4:

curl -k -u admin https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/SA-ITOA/itoa_interface/glass_table -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST -d '{"_owner": "admin","title": "test_API_glass_table","description": "test_glass_table","object_type": "glass_table","latest": "now","latest_label": "now","svg_coordinates": {"viewdy": 0, "viewdx": 0}, "is_epoch": "false", "templateSwappableServiceIds":[]}'

Don't know if this helps.

One of the engineers on the ITSI team tested out creating a glass table using the endpoint and it appears to be broken. We have filed a bug to fix this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi @hjauch

Thanks for the reply,

I was able to update, delete the glass table using the same end point, but am not sure why only create is not working.

if possible, please provide with a work around untill a new patch is released.

Thank you

The workaround is to create the glass table through the UI until a fix can be made.

Hi hjauch

This issue was not fixed & end point is not working in new and updated ITSI 4.0 version.

Please guys can you look and fix this issue at least in next release.

Thanks

[hjauch_splunk]

You are correct, the issue has not been fixed yet. It is issue # ITSI-918. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Some information on what you are trying to accomplish may be helpful. Are you trying to create an empty glass table or a glass table with widgets?

Please, Can someone from Splunk answer this question

Thanks
