API v2

Support
1

I am experimenting with the Foreman API. I need to write a script that
spins up a cluster. In our environment a cluster is a series of machines
that define an environment. This includes adding compute resources, compute
profiles, subnets, etc.

It seems the API is lacking in certain areas. For instance listing the
compute resources. It doesn't allow you to determine what locations that
compute resource is tied to (or when creating one you can't tie it to a
location). Same goes for things such as host groups creation.

Is there a way to get and set this information?

Thanks

I think you're misguided as it seems like the docs in
Foreman are a bit outdated as the code shows
it's definitely possible
https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/controllers/api/v2/compute_resources_controller.rb#L46

Just pass in the same JSON a key "location_id" or "location_name" and
that should set the location in your newly created compute resource.

Same logic would work for the PUT (update) request, and for host groups.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the post. Appreciate it.

Follow-up on compute profiles + compute resources. This is accessed through
the compute attributes API call. I see calls to create and update a compute
attribute. But is there a way to get all compute profiles associated with a
specific compute resource?

Thanks again.
