REST Endpoints Reference

This is a reference for the REST Endpoints integration. The endpoint configuration follows the same pattern as the REST.V2 moogdb module; there is a minimum set of required parameters and an optional set of parameters.

Name

Type

String

Required

Yes

Default

URL

URL of the endpoint. May contain substitutions from the in-scope object allowing a dynamic path to the object. For example, if the object path is https://myserver.com/alerts/$alert_id, when processing an alert with an alert_id of 99, Moogsoft Enterprise dynamically creates a target URL of https://myserver.com/alerts/99.

Substitutions can contain any valid object field (including custom_info) to any depth as long as it is a string. A substitutions that contains an array or object results in an invalid URL.
