How do we add a new service using Cloudera Manager rest api

[#1]

I downloaded,distributed and activate STREAMSETS parcel but I dont know how to go about adding the service via the Cloudera Manager rest api. I can see the parcel listed both via rest api and UI. I can go about adding the service via the UI but want to check if it can be done via the rest api

@antonio,

While I don't have the exact way to add the Service, you should be able to use the following:

https://cloudera.github.io/cm_api/apidocs/v19/path__clusters_-clusterName-_services.html

First, make sure that you can see the StreamSets service listed when using serviceTypes:

https://cloudera.github.io/cm_api/apidocs/v19/path__clusters_-clusterName-_serviceTypes.html

NOTE:  In the above, I used the latest, v19, but you should use the latest api version that is supported by your Cloudera Manager version.

Hope that helps,

Ben

Thanks for your response. What is an example of the payload to post to /services. I am using 

{
	"name": streamsets,
	"type": STREAMSETS
	
}

and its failing
