Moving roles to a new roleConfigsGroup

jftheroux — Wed, 11 Jan 2017 21:26:38 GMT

I'm working on automating a cluster creation. One of the things I've done, is create new roleConfigsGroup.

What I now need to do is move the roles to the new roleConfigsGroup using the API. To do that, I'm using this endpoint: /api/v14/clusters/{clusterName}/services/{serviceName}/roleConfigGroups/{roleConfigGroupName}/roles.

My problem is, I can't seem to figure out the proper JSON to use with my PUT request.

https://cloudera.github.io/cm_api/apidocs/v14/ns0_apiRoleNameList.html says I need to pass an items list, which I've done with several other endpoints. But I have no clue what each item should be like.

Anyone has an example handy?

JSONs I've tried so far:

{
  "items" : [
    {
      "name" : "SERVER",
      "roleType" : "SERVER"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "items" : [
    "SERVER"
  ]
}

You could try this where the items are role names to be moved against /clusters/{clusterName}/services/{serviceName}/roleConfigGroups/{roleConfigGroupName}/roles

Example:

{
  "items": ["flumeAGENTd574d31f","flumeAGENTd5192a7f"]
}
